18905 - Space Shuttle Orbiter 1/15 scale
The craft commonly referred to as the "Space Shuttle" is the orbiter portion
of NASA's Space Transportation System, an aircraft like vehicle that can be launched on
repeat missions to carry crew members, experiments, and other
payloads into earth orbit. This model is 8' long.

Shuttle Tiles
The Space Shuttle thermal protection system includes the use of black (high
temperature) and white (low temperature) Reusable Surface Insulation tiles. These
tiles keep the environment inside the Shuttle comfortable for the astronauts. Display set
of three tiles. These are easily damaged; please handle with care.
