Use / Assembly

The separation of individual rocket stages is controlled by a hand crank. In the first phase, the solid rocket boosters separate from the core stage, then the mechanism separates the core stage itself. A further phase depicts the separation of the upper stage with the engine module, the Orion spacecraft and the launch escape system.

During assembly, you can use the LEGO Builder app. The digital instructions allow you to rotate and zoom the model in 3D while tracking your building progress.

The hand-operated mechanism turns the finished model into a clear demonstration of the individual stages of a rocket launch.

Contents
