ROKR Space Shuttle

T-minus 10, 9, 8… With the ROKR Space Shuttle, you aren’t just building a rocket- you are staging a launch. This intricate 3D puzzle brings the iconic shuttle era directly to your home, recreating a complete launch sequence: from the horizontally stored orbiter to the upright launch position, ready for liftoff into the stars.

Space Exploration at Your Fingertips: A gear-driven precision motor moves the orbiter slowly and steadily from a horizontal position into a vertical launch state- exactly like real pre-launch operations. Once the shuttle is upright, the three-dimensional robotic arms come into play: they rotate and retract, clearing the way for the orbiter.

Pure Retro Spaceflight: The five-storey launch tower pays homage to the space exploration of the early 80s. Clean geometric lines, classic aerospace architecture, and technical minimalism give the model its authentic retro look. A true piece of space history in miniature!

The Countdown Begins: Strategically placed LEDs provide a genuine launch atmosphere. During the countdown, six light signals flash, followed by ignition effects. At the base of the shuttle, orange and blue LEDs glow to simulate the thrust of the engine flames.

A Wooden Icon: The shuttle itself is modelled on the classic orbiter profile, featuring twin boosters, white panelling, delta wings, a tail fin stabiliser, and the characteristically rounded nose. Every detail evokes real missions, real launches, and real space history.

You Are in Control: A sliding main switch powers the entire launch pad. A separate push-button triggers the launch sequence. During assembly, you gain practical knowledge of engineering, physics, mechanics, and space history. For young explorers in particular, this model sparks curiosity and builds confidence in technical understanding, making complex subjects tangible.

Estimated Build Time: 6 hours.
