Product description
The International Space Station (ISS) is a modular (habitable artificial satellite) in low Earth orbit.

Intergovernmental treaties and agreements establish the ownership and use of the space station.

The station serves as a microgravity and space environment research laboratory in which scientific research is conducted in astrobiology, astronomy, meteorology, physics, and other fields.

The ISS is suited for testing the spacecraft systems and equipment required for future long-duration missions to the Moon and Mars.

The assembly of the ISS, a significant endeavor in space architecture, began in November 1998.

Russian modules launched and docked robotically, except Rassvet.
All other modules were delivered by the Space Shuttle.

PROTOTYPE HISTORY

On cloudless nights, with a certain amount of luck, every inhabitant of the Earth can raise ahead to the sky and see a small twinkling star flying among other celestial bodies. This is not a star, not a planet, but the most prominent artificial object - the International Space Station- an outpost of humanity in tight space. Thirty years ago, it seemed impossible, but at the end of the 20th century, the world's advanced countries united to create a space research center. The launch of the station became a symbol of international cooperation and the end of the Cold War.

The ISS consists of 14 modules, solar panels, and technological devices and mechanisms. The station weighs about 450 tons and revolves around the Earth at an altitude of 340 kilometers, orbiting the planet 16 times earth day.
The ISS blocks and modules belong to NASA, the European Space Agency, Japan, Brazil, Canada, and the Russian Federation. These countries make the most significant contribution to the development of the station, and the researches carried out there.

HISTORY OF THE MODEL FORMATION

The ISS is the embodiment of the most advanced technological achievements of earthlings. Research in outer space opens up prospects for the colonization of other planets; that's why the significance of the space station cannot be overestimated. At the same time, the station is an impressive, aesthetically flawless, futuristic engineering structure. Each of the architects, engineers, designers, and mechanics involved in its creation can consider himself a chosen one who has put his skills into the embodiment of new hope for humanity.

Paying tribute to the engineering genius of the creators of the artificial celestial body, the designers of Metal Time have created a prefabricated model of the Astronauts Lodge of the space research station.

FEATURES, BENEFITS

The Astronauts Lodge is a good exercise for hands and spatial awareness because it comprises many different parts. These are two-dimensional solar panels, and three-dimensional modules and blocks, and a massive platform. To assemble it, you will need to be patient and study the structure of an actual space station. Knowing the name and purpose of each module, it will be twice more interesting to assemble them with your own hands.

Astronauts Lodge is equipped with an electric motor that allows the structure to rotate on its axis. You can also manually adjust the tilt angle of the station to the surface where it is located. The time spent on assembling the model will pay off with the result in the form of the original model, which will take its rightful place in your collection.

The "Astronauts Lodge" constructor is a beautiful gift for those interested in humanity's space achievements, fans of science fiction, and complex engineering structures. The space station model is the most extraordinary interior decoration, surpassing the originality of ships from space in TV series.

An evenly revolving, glittering, steel-faced structure on your desktop is best set up for productive work and provides many ideas for engineering or design work. Like all the Metal Time models, «Astronauts Lodge» is made of sustainable food-grade stainless steel approved for consumer goods and toys.

Precise cutting of the set eliminates the possibility of cuts during the assembling process. The parts fit accurately together and will not create problems with connecting. Pleasant tactile sensations, durability, and aesthetics of matte metal distinguish the steel parts from wooden or plastic ones used in other constructors.

Convenient flat packaging made from sustainable, recyclable cardboard combines compactness and the aesthetics of a status gift. Each buyer of the "Metal time" model receives a club badge, a thank you card, and a unique number assigned to each model. Joining the Metal Time club opens up additional opportunities for each customer.

Easy to fold

All parts are separated and connected with light finger pressure, eliminating possible cuts or pricks during the assembly process.

The Metal Time kits comprise small parts that, under particular conditions, may be hazardous to children under the age of 14 years. If children are to carry out the model assembly, parents' supervision should be ensured.
14 languages User's guides will lead you through the assembling process. In coming up with a design for creative people, there is no borderline between imagination and reality.

The model research and assembly advance the technical creativity skills inspire science and technology history research.

Models "Metal Time" are creators of active leisure and superb gifts, interior embellishments, installation elements, models, and showcase stands.

To make them gatherable and exchangeable, each of our models is assigned a unique serial number—the Metal Time Owners' Club is an upcoming group of people who are zealous about designing.

The loyalty program, "Metal Time," frequently presents the owners of our construction sets with pleasant surprises.
