The new Lego NASA Space Shuttle Discovery set reproduces the winged orbiter and Hubble Space Telescope in detail. Related: 10 cool facts about space shuttle Discovery There were also technical manuals online that were really fun to look through to find cross sections of the shuttle, the profile of the wings and things like that. With the Hubble, there's a certain configuration of the payload bay to get to the telescope to fit in. Also technical details, like what was placed where on STS-31 in comparison to other missions. So we were able to ask really specific questions and they were able to provide really specific feedback, like which logos, for example, were used on certain missions, whether it should be the NASA "worm" or the "meatball," and things like that. ![]() So we were just downloading images of the specific mission and shuttle to help inform our design.īut then we also were working really closely with NASA and some of their technical advisors. The most obvious one is the archive on NASA's website, it's just full of amazing images. That’s why they’re rigorously tested so you can be sure that the model is as robust as it is beautiful.CollectSPACE (cS): So you came into this project as fans of the shuttle, but given the level of detail you were able to include, were they any specific references you turned to while designing Discovery?
