Manufacturer's description: The world's first ICBM became the most often used and most reliable launch vehicle in history. The original core+four strap-on booster missile had a small third stage added to produce the Vostok launch vehicle, with a payload of 5 metric tons.
On January 2nd, 1959, Luna 1 spacecraft was launched by this launch vehicle. Luna 1 passed within 5,995 km of moon but did not hit it as planned due to a failure of the launch vehicle control system. Went into solar orbit and became first manmade object to attain of escape velocity. It went into orbit around the Sun, between the orbits of Earth and Mars. The measurements obtained during this mission provided new data on the Earth's radiation belt and outer space, including the discovery that the Moon had no magnetic field and that a solar wind, a strong flow of ionized plasma emmanating from the Sun, streamed through interplanetary space.

Product Description
In 1968, the Apollo Applications Program was created to look into science missions that could be performed with the surplus Apollo hardware. Much of the planning centered on the idea of a space station, which eventually spawned the Skylab program. Skylab was launched using a two-stage Saturn V, sometimes called a Saturn INT-21. It was the only launch not directly related to the Apollo lunar landing program.
In May 1973 Skylab was launched using a two-stage Saturn V, sometimes called a Saturn INT-21.[2] It was the only launch not directly related to the Apollo lunar landing program. Three crews lived aboard Skylab from May 25, 1973 to February 8, 1974, with Skylab remaining in orbit until July 11, 1979.

Product Description
The Saturn V (pronounced "Saturn Five") was a multistage liquid-fuel expendable rocket used by NASA's Apollo and Skylab programs from 1967 until 1973. In total NASA launched thirteen Saturn V rockets with no loss of payload. It remains the largest and most powerful launch vehicle ever brought to operational status from a height, weight and payload standpoint.
The largest production model of the Saturn family of rockets, the Saturn V was designed under the direction of Wernher von Braun at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, with Boeing, North American Aviation, Douglas Aircraft Company, and IBM as the lead contractors. Von Braun's design was based in part on his work on the "Aggregate" series of rockets, especially the A-10, A-11, and A12 in Germany during World War II. The three stages of the Saturn V were developed by various NASA contractors, but following a sequence of mergers and takeovers all of them are now owned by Boeing.

instruction sheetComments:This kit is intended to replace the non-batted, woefully out of scale kit parts for the Dragon Saturn V kit. Each engine is made up of two parts: the engine bell and the pumps. The engine bell parts are hollowed out and have very nice details molded on the interior as well as the batted exterior. The pump parts are solid and have the batted insulation molded in place. No air holes are evident in my samples. The parts are still attached to their pour plugs and the bottoms of the engine bells will need a light sanding, but otherwise the parts are very clean. The instruction sheet shows how to mate the parts and where they go on the Dragon kit. You will need to remove some detail from the Dragon kit part. Bare-Metal Foil is recommended to cover the exterior of the parts, but Alclad II or silver enamel paint may also be used.

Decal set contains 124 decals for almost any possible R-7 model. Decals are directly identified to use on models of ICBM - Sputnik - Vostok - Voskhod - Soyuz R-7 variants.
Sven Knudson's review:"These decals are intended to be used with the Mach 2 1/72 scale R-7 kits: Sputnik, Vostok, Voskhod, Soyuz, etc. They provide the stenciled details present on each real booster and can greatly enhance the look of the finished model. The decals are very detailed: looking through a magnifying glass reveals distinctive Cyrillic type. The decals are numerically coded and called out as such on the placement guides by stages: the common markings for the first and second stages and specific markings for Vostok, Voskhod, and Soyuz TM upper stages and payload shrouds. There are no markings on the Sputnik or ICBM shrouds. There is no mention of the Luna shroud, but a decal (labeled V4 on the sheet) is indeed included for a stencil on the Luna shroud.

On February 20, 1962, John Herschel Glenn, Jr. piloted the Mercury Atlas "Friendship 7 " spacecraft on America's first manned orbital mission of the Earth. After Launching from Kennedy Space center in Florida, Glenn successfully completed a three-orbit mission around the Planet. The Mission lasted 4 hours, 55 minutes, and 23 seconds from launch to impact, and during it Glenn reached an orbital velocity of 17,500 miles hour and a maximum altitude of approximately 162 miles. The flight was received with great enthusiasm and relief in the United States and many other countries, it also gave the United States even more hope of someday reaching the moon.

1:48 Unmanned Space Probe Voyager with Golden Record Plate
The Voyager program is an American scientific program that employs two robotic probes, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, to study the outer Solar System. The probes were launched in 1977 to take advantage of a favorable alignment of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Although their original mission was to study only the planetary systems of Jupiter and Saturn, Voyager 2 continued on to Uranus and Neptune. The Voyagers now explore the outer boundary of the heliosphere in interstellar space; their mission has been extended three times and they continue to transmit useful scientific data. Neither Uranus nor Neptune has been visited by a probe other than Voyager 2.
On 25 August 2012, data from Voyager 1 indicated that it had become the first human-made object to enter interstellar space, traveling "further than anyone, or anything, in history". As of 2013, Voyager 1 was moving with a velocity of 17 kilometers per second (11 mi/s) relative to the Sun.
On 5 November 2018, data from Voyager 2 indicated that it also had entered interstellar space.
Data and photographs collected by the Voyagers' cameras, magnetometers and other instruments, revealed unknown details about each of the four giant planets and their moons. Close-up images from the spacecraft charted Jupiter's complex cloud forms, winds and storm systems and discovered volcanic activity on its moon Io. Saturn's rings were found to have enigmatic braids, kinks and spokes and to be accompanied by myriad "ringlets". At Uranus, Voyager 2 discovered a substantial magnetic field around the planet and ten more moons. Its flyby of Neptune uncovered three rings and six hitherto unknown moons, a planetary magnetic field and complex, widely distributed auroras. Voyager 2 is the only spacecraft to have visited the two ice giants. In August 2018, NASA confirmed, based on results by the New Horizons spacecraft, of a "hydrogen wall" at the outer edges of the Solar System that was first detected in 1992 by the two Voyager spacecraft.
The Voyager spacecraft were built at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California and they were funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), which also financed their launches from Cape Canaveral, Florida, their tracking and everything else concerning the probes.

1/72 Convair SM-65D Atlas Plastic Model Kit
The race was on! After 1945 the USA and USSR both wanted to be the first to build an Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM). The Convair SM-65D Atlas was America's secret atomic weapon for the Cold War. The Strategic Air Command had it operational by 1959. It could deliver a 1.4 megaton yield payload over 9,000miles (14,500km). Later versions launched spy satellites, Ranger probes to the Moon, and interplanetary probes to Venus and Mars. It also sent the first Americans into orbit around the earth.

All new 1/72 Mercury™-Atlas Plastic Model Kit
Mankind has always dreamed of space travel, to explore the moon and visit the distant planets. From 1962 this dream began to turn into reality, as the first Americans orbited the Earth using the Mercury™- Atlas. Flying solo, they would pilot the Mercury™ capsule, which sat on top of the mighty Convair Atlas rocket, and experience extreme acceleration during the rapid ascent into space. Travelling at over 27,500 kilometres per hour, they would orbit the earth every 90 minutes. Upon re-entry, the ablative shield on the outside of their capsule would save them from temperatures of over 1,000 degrees Celsius. Once in Earth's atmosphere, a large parachute would slow them and their capsule to a safe speed, allowing a splash down in the ocean. The successful Mercury™ program paved the way for more ambitious manned spaceflight programs, which eventually saw man walk on the moon.

The First Americans in Space!
In 1961, two brave men became the first Americans to fly into space. Launched atop Redstone rockets, they experienced incredible acceleration during 142 seconds of powered flight, after which their Mercury™ spacecraft separated from the booster to coast majestically to altitudes over 117 miles (188 km). From there they would experience about five minutes of weightlessness, and gaze down upon the Earth from their incredible vantage point. A short time later, their re-entry would begin - racing back towards the Earth until they hit the atmosphere, the deceleration building up until they reached about 11g, after which their parachute would deploy to slow their spacecraft so they could safely splash down in the Atlantic Ocean. Only two men would fly the Mercury™-Redstone, but they paved the way for more ambitious spaceflights which eventually saw man walk on the moon.

The Space Race Begins!
During the late 1950s, the cold war continued to increase tensions throughout the world, as both the United States and the Soviet Union had an arsenal of missiles at their disposal, with many more under development. But now the attention would be directed towards space, and who would get there first. The Americans used one of their most reliable rockets – the Redstone – added three more stages to make the Juno I, and mated it with the Explorer I satellite. It successfully launched on January 31, 1958 from Cape Canaveral in Florida, and a new era had begun for the United States. In the coming years, the Redstone rocket would prove to be a very reliable booster, and was used to launch satellites and the first American Astronauts into space.

Sold out
1:300 Convair Observation Satellite
Released briefly in the late 1950's, this Strombecker kit suffered from sub-standard engineering, resulting in huge gaps between virtually all of its pieces when assembled. Glencoe Models' 1990's re-release was re-tooled to meet modern hobby standards, resulting in a cleaner, tighter-fitting kit along with a stand from the original kit.
Like many of the Krafft Ehricke concepts, the Convair Manned Observational Satellite was designed to be constructed from spent fuel tanks and other components cannibalized from used rockets. Intended to carry a crew of less than one-half dozen, the MOSV was little more than a passive high-altitude platform from which Americans could comfortably gaze down at the Earth 150 miles below -- and presumably keep a close eye on those nasty Rooskies.

Virgin Galactic's WhiteKnightTwo and SpaceShipTwo together form the world's first commercial human space launch system: both are built and flying.
SpaceShipTwo has been created specifically to open the experience of space flight to unprecedented numbers of private individuals at increasingly affordable ticket prices and in a safe and enjoyable environment. It has a large cabin and many big windows allowing its six passengers to explore the wonder of out-of-seat zero gravity while absorbing incredible views of the blue planet from the blackness of space.
Based on the history making SpaceShipOne, Virgin Galactic's system utilises an air launch platform, namely the world's largest all composite, dual fuselage aviation vehicle, WhiteKnightTwo. With a unique heavy payload, high altitude capability, this capable, four engined mothership, hauls the spaceship to the edges of the atmosphere where it is released for an efficient and safe but thrilling rocket-powered, Mach 3.5 climb to space. SpaceShipTwo has a unique re-entry system which sees the tail-booms rotate in space to provide stability and drag during the carefree and heat-free return to the Earth's atmosphere. A glide from high altitude to an un-powered runway landing completes the astronaut experience and the first step on a journey which will connect everyone to space like never before.
- Brand new tooling
- Model can be built as seperate aircraft or as a composite with both aircraft
- Highly detailed fuselage on both WhiteKnightTwo and SpaceShipTwo
- Clear windows
- Accurately reproduced engines and structured wings
- Optional extended landing gear
- Rocket nozzle

1:76 Vanguard Rocket & Gantry
Although the initial launch of Vanguard reached an altitude of about 4 feet, a successful lift off was achieved on March 17, 1958. This was the first success of a burgeoning civilian space program, which would soon grow into NASA some three months later.
As with the Thor ICBM this will be the first time this kit has been available for many, many, years. Originally made by Adams in 1958, this has never been reissued until now. The kit is nominally 1:76 or 00 scale, so suitable for many types of railroad layouts, and close to the most common aircraft scale.

Requires construction and painting.:6 Explorer 1 Satellite
Explorer 1 became the first US satellite when it was successfully launched into orbit on February 1, 1958, by a US Army Jupiter-C rocket, modified for the flight to become the Juno-1.
A 1:6 scale model of Explorer 1 was produced by the Ideal Toy Company (ITC) in 1959, only a year after launch, and this was quite a detailed kit. It not only had an opening outer casing to show off the interior, but sat on a stand that had a handle (top picture). Turn the handle and, via what was in effect an all-plastic musical box, it ‘clicked’ out the telemetry signal the satellite sent back!
The kit became quite rare, but those who wanted to actually build the model (instead of using it as loft insulation) were saved when Glencoe Models came on the scene.

1:48 Jupiter C Rocket
In the late 1950s, Dr. Werner von Braun was pushing his dream to reach into space. Working at the US Army's ballistic missile labs, he proposed a design named Orbiter that would put a satellite into orbit. The concept lost out to the US Navy's Vanguard program, but von Braun continued to develop the concept under a program called Jupiter. This program was officially designed as an intermediate range ballistic missile.
When the Russians put Sputnik into orbit in 1957, the space race was kicked into high gear. When the Navy's Vanguard launch vehicle exploded in flight, the Army and von Braun brought forth Juno - a Jupiter C with an Explorer I satellite payload.

1:300 NUCLEAR POWERED SPACE STATION Brand: Glencoe Models Product Code: GC06909
Sold out
1:300 Nuclear Powered Space Station
The S-1 Space Station was available only briefly during the mid and late 1950s. Glencoe Models revived it in 1993, billing it as simply the "Nuclear Powered Space Station." When purchased by Glencoe, the original Strombecker mould was in very bad shape due to poor storage; reportedly a year of restoration was required before an acceptable run of new models could be produced.
The Werner von Braun space station that appeared in Collier's magazine featured only two main spokes and top-mounted solar collectors. This updated Man in Space version has three spokes for extra stability, a core-mounted nuclear reactor for power and web-like radiators to bleed excess heat off into space. One-man "Bottle Suits" allowed astronauts to engage in extra-vehicular activities. Like virtually all 1950's-era space stations, the S-1 was a wheel that rotated to produce artificial gravity, a notion that would be nixed by NASA designers three decades later when designing the real International Space Station.

Late 1940's supersonic USAF experimental aircraft, originally flown by Chuck Yeager.
The Bell X-1, designated originally as XS-1, was a joint National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics-U.S. Army Air Forces-U.S. Air Force supersonic research project built by the Bell Aircraft Company. Conceived during 1944 and designed and built during 1945, it achieved a speed of nearly 1,000 miles per hour (1,600 km/h; 870 kn) during 1948. A derivative of this same design, the Bell X-1A, having greater fuel capacity and hence longer rocket burning time, exceeded 1,600 miles per hour (2,600 km/h; 1,400 kn) during 1954.
The X-1 was the first aeroplane to exceed the speed of sound in level flight and was the first of the so-called X-planes, a series of American experimental rocket planes designated for testing of new technologies and often kept secret.
Kit Features:
- Plastic model kit
- Requires assembly, glue and paint
