This becomes the support structure for launch. The use of mobile launcher platform is a part of the Integrate-Transfer-Launch (ITL) system, which involves vertical assembly, transport, and launch of rockets. The concept was first implemented in the 1960s for the United States Air Force's Titan III rocket, and it was later used by NASA for Saturn V, Space shuttle, and Space Launch System. There are alternatives to ITL. Horizontal assembly and transport to the pad is used by Russia, by ULA for the Delta IV family, and by SpaceX for the Falcon 9 family. Vertical assembly on the launch pad is used for smaller launch vehicles and for the SpaceX Starship. MOC NASA Shuttle Expedition Shuttle building blocks series bricks set Part count: 1514 bricks Dimensions: 26 x 27 x 64 cm Weight: 1.45 kg NASA?? Challenger shuttle heads to Launch Pad 39A at Kennedy Space Center, Florida, in November 1982. The space shuttle program ran for 30 years and pioneered many aspects of spaceflight today. Astronauts practiced experiment-driven missions, focusing on science- and health-oriented tasks in space. Crews perfected the techniques of spacewalks, which they used to repair satellites, including the Hubble Space Telescope, and to literally build the ISS. And the space shuttle taught NASA how to operate a program for a long period of time, laying the foundation for the space station's current 20 years of human operations. Features include: Large cargo bay with functional bay doors, featuring an Orbital Docking System, Canadarm, and satellite. Separating Solid Rocket Boosters (SRBs) Separating External Tank (ET) Canadarm robotic arm (SRMS -Shuttle Remote Manipulator System) which was responsible for cargo, astronauts, hull examination, and the deployment and capture of satellites Functional wing flaps/elevons, body flap, and split tail rudder Same scale as the Saturn V (Approx 1:111) Over half a meter tall, this Space Shuttle is in scale to the Saturn V, and would make the perfect companion piece.
