NASA/Rockwell Space Shuttle Model (with or without working cargo doors)

The first orbital flight began when the Shuttle "Columbia" took off on April 12, 1981, completing 36 Earth orbits before landing at Edwards AFB, California, 55 hours later on April 14. In January, 1986, the Shuttle "Challenger" was dramatically destroyed by a post-launch explosion killing all six astronauts on board, and the program was suspended until September 1989 to allow a redesign of the booster system. The Space Shuttle takes off from Earth as a rocket and maneuvers in orbit as a spacecraft, after reentry into Earth's atmosphere it is controlled and brought in to an unpowered landing in the mode of a conventional fixed-wing airplane. The Shuttle takes off vertically under the power of three Rocketdyne main propulsion engines, each developing 375,000-lb. thrust, plus two Thiokol solid-propellant booster rockets, each producing 2,900,000 lb. thrust; the combined thrust being 3,091.5 tons. Orbital speed of the Shuttle is 17,600 mph, and landing speed is 212 mph.

All airplane models are Hand Carved, Hand Painted Mahogany and come fully assembled with removable desk stand.
