42221 LEGO Technic NASA Artemis Space Launch System Rocket

Description

Embark on an educational adventure with this NASA Artemis Space Launch System Rocket (42221) building set, designed for children aged 9 and up. This LEGO Technic model captures the excitement of a rocket launch through three distinct stages. By turning the crank, you can witness the solid rocket boosters separate from the core stage, followed by the detachment of the core stage itself. Continue cranking to see the upper stage, complete with its engine module, Orion spacecraft, and launch abort system, separate in sequence. Developed in partnership with NASA and ESA, this set allows young explorers to learn about the real space launch system that will propel the Orion spacecraft toward lunar orbit. The set includes four LEGO astronaut nanofigures, vibrant blue flame details, and an informational panel for an impressive display. With 632 pieces, the assembled rocket stands over 27.5 inches (70 cm) tall, 6.5 inches (16 cm) long, and 3 inches (8 cm) wide when positioned upright.
