The LEGO NASA Space Shuttle Discovery (10283) recreates the iconic STS-31 mission of 1990 with its 2355 pieces. This detailed Icons-themed model features the Space Shuttle Discovery alongside a replica of the Hubble Space Telescope. Builders can open the payload bay doors to deploy the telescope, which itself has movable solar panels and an opening aperture door. Functional elements include adjustable elevons for flight control, retractable landing gear for reentry, and a poseable robotic arm.
