Highlights
Packed with features, this build marks the amazing accomplishments of Discovery. Open the payload bay to deploy the Hubble Telescope on its mission to explore the cosmos. Adjust the elevons, engage the landing gear on reentry and deploy the robotic arm. The cockpit opens to reveal flight and mid-decks with seats for 5 crew members. The telescope features movable solar panels and an aperture door. The multiple display stands let you display the space shuttle model and telescope individually or together.
Information
Our SmartKidsPlanet initiative began in 2017 when 3 geeky and dedicated parents saw a gap in the children’s toys and games market. An opportunity was spotted while we struggled to find toys and games for our kids which enriched their minds and guided them toward science, art, math and construction. The trio then knew that their paths were set, establishing an online shop with a comprehensive range of intelligent toys for babies, children and young teenagers.
With offices based in California, our SmartKidsPlanet team enjoys a daily growth in our presence within the children’s educational toys market. We love our new place in life, and we love helping young minds with their growth and skill development, all while having as much fun as possible.

Although you can assume that the quality of the model and design are exceptional (they are) it needs to be said that Legos consistency of quality is also an achievement. I have always been fascinated by space and the exploration of it. This model is added to my NASA/Lego collection and is truly impressive. The Hubble telescope model is impressive in its own right. Anyone who has ever had an interest in science and space exploration will love this model. The landing gear deployment is really well done and all the details on the model are surprise after surprise during the build. The mirror stickers on the bay doors, well, I forgive you for this Lego. Im not sure there is better solution. Its just a great model and fun to build. Buy it.
Fantastic Build. Very fun set, great swoosh factor. Only minor complaint is the Hubble Isnt designed to securely fit in the cargo bay when in closed doors mode. It will fit if you set it in their, but there is no mount point so its just loose in the cargo bay, a bit snug too. Anyway, great set, just buy it you know you want to.
Having done the 1969 piece Saturn V, this was fun and worth every minute. Tired to do a bag a day just to enjoy the process!!
Incredible detail. Fun the build.
Ive never built a Lego anything in my life. My impression of things made out of Legos was that of a blocky bumpy thing that sort of resembled what you were trying to make.
This piece, however, changed that impression. It was a little intimidating when I unboxed it18 bags of parts! However, the instruction manual (318 pages) gives you clear step-by-step instructions as you make your way from one bag to the next. The engineering that went into designing this model is truly impressive. All in all, it me about 12 hours to build both the shuttle and the Hubble satellite. Great fun!
