NASA Space Shuttle Discovery

The UGEARS NASA Space Shuttle Discovery is a three-in-one, 1:96 scale wooden set: the orbiter, a tensegrity stand that simulates weightlessness, and a deployable Hubble Space Telescope. It celebrates the 1990 mission in which Discovery deployed Hubble, with opening cargo bays, a robotic arm and plenty of other moving parts to explore.
