LEGO NASA Space Set - This adult LEGO set features the Space Shuttle Discovery and the Hubble Space Telescope from NASA’s 1990 STS-31 mission, perfect for space enthusiasts.

The LEGO Icons NASA Space Shuttle Discovery brings one of history’s most significant space missions into your hands. This 2,354-piece set authentically recreates the 1990 STS-31 mission that deployed the Hubble Space Telescope, combining engineering precision with nostalgic space exploration. At over 21 inches long, it’s not just a build—it’s a statement piece that celebrates human achievement beyond Earth’s atmosphere.

What sets this apart from typical display models is the functional detail. The payload bay opens to reveal the Hubble telescope inside, landing gear retracts just like the real shuttle, and the cockpit lifts to show five crew seats on the flight deck. The space arm extends, elevons move, and the Hubble itself features adjustable solar panels. Every element reflects the actual mechanics of the Discovery, making this as educational as it is impressive. The included display stands let you showcase both the shuttle and telescope separately or together, with mission facts printed on the base plate.

Who Is This For?

This set speaks directly to space enthusiasts who appreciate historical accuracy and adults who want a challenging, rewarding build. If you grew up watching shuttle launches or have followed NASA’s achievements, this captures that era perfectly. It’s equally suited for LEGO collectors expanding their Icons series, office professionals wanting sophisticated desk decor, or anyone seeking a hands-on project that results in museum-quality display. The complexity makes it ideal for experienced builders, though the satisfaction of completing it appeals to anyone patient enough to work through 2,354 pieces.

Bottom Line

The LEGO NASA Space Shuttle Discovery delivers exceptional value for display-focused builders. You’re getting two iconic spacecraft, intricate working features, and a finished model that commands attention in any room. It’s a premium set that justifies its price through scale, detail, and the sheer presence it brings to your space.
