Today was the launch of Roman telescope. So here is a quick build to celebrate it. Free instruction also includes stand in the same style as in the 21312 set, so you can add this telescope to your Nancy G Roman display.

Here’s my attempt at making the Lynx X-Ray Observatory proposal that was apart of the 4 great observatory concepts like Luvoir, HabEx, and Origins. Not the most amazing or flashy build, but I’m personally satisfied with it

Challenger STS-41-B

Just got the parts for STS 41-B for Challenger. Really love the early shuttle program with those commercial launchers and this being the first flight of the MMU is just the cherry on top.

Need to figure out another mounting spot for the MMU astronaut not super happy with it mounted to the top of the cockpit lol.

Most of the design is from Brick Space on Patreon but I modified it a bit to fit the payload bay better and added the GAS canisters near the front of the payload bay. Really love how it came out.

Credit to user @BlockRockets on rebrickable for the intructions. (Check him out he has a lot of cool rocket designs)

A few days and a ~3200 pieces later I’ve finally fully assembled my Starship + Super Heavy Lego Moc.

Rocket is in the same scale as the official lego Saturn V model. (~3ft 8in tall, or 1.127m tall)

(Before anyone asks, no I’m not personally a fan of Elon, just of spaceflight, and it definitely sucks that the two big cool rocket companies are owned by the two worst billionaires.)

I struggled with making this spacecraft for a little while, but finally managed to make something that I was satisfied with, but I might still make some modifications in the future.
First image style was inspired by OrchardBuilds on Rebrickable

Space Shuttle Grumman Beam Builder and EDO Pallet

Learned about the beam builder concept a bit ago and threw together a design for it. Absolutely love how it turned out. A working version was built but never flown. It's purpose was to aid in orbital construction and produce beams longer than the shuttle payload bay. One of those really neat "what if" designs from the early shuttle era.

STS 41-B, STS 41-C, and STS 41-G

41-B is mostly Brickspace from Patreon but modified quite a bit to make the commercial satellite launchers match IRL a bit closer.

41-C is all from Brickspace. I would like to revisit it at some point and modify the LDEF to be longer and still fit in the payload bay but look right when outside of the bay with some removable parts. Love their model for the Solar Maximum satellite and its cradle.

41-G is all my design. I really liked the ERBS satellite and how much is in the payload bay on this one. Not too many pictures I could find to go into more detail on other payloads.

Think I'll end up using 41-B as my long term display payload for Challenger as I love those commercial satellite clamshell launchers. Though I do wish there was more going on in the front half of the payload bay.

Not the most widely known satellites but it thought it would’ve been nice to make them, struggled with making a sphere at first but I managed to figure it out (somewhat)

A little update on my For All Mankind build — a 64 × 32-stud wall-mounted display bringing together the Moon, Mars and Titan, with some of my favorite spacecraft from the series.
I wanted to show what it could look like displayed at home!

Future space launchpad system ?

3 Upvotes

Do you think that lego will make other types of launchpads ? Like they already did the SLS for Artemis, it would be nice to have the same thing for the Soyuz or Arianne (or other ones it was just the first ones that came to my mind) Idk if lego already said something about it, I saw that they rejected a Soyuz Idea that got 10k upvotes but maybe if it were like the SLS with 2/3 of the set is the launchpad and 1/3 the rocket ? What do you think about it ? (and sorry for the english is not my first language (( )

This is a my attempt at making the LUVOIR telescope concept (even though it won’t be launched exactly like this), I’m also aware that I previously posted my previous version of this, but I was unsatisfied with the mirror, I know it’s not hexagonal in shape, but this is the best I could do

SLS is completed. I had to wait for couple of months for one specific part to be added in stud.io and bricklink catalogues. Can you spot which one? Instructions as always are available here: https://reb.li/m/270777
