Description
Space Shuttle Atlantis made its maiden flight in October 1985, and made
its last flight in July 2011, the last flight before the Shuttle program
ended. This final flight brought additional supplies to the
International Space Station. By the end of its final mission, Atlantis
had orbited the Earth 4,848 times, traveling nearly 126,000,000 mi in
space or more than 525 times the distance from the Earth to the Moon.
One
of Atlantis' notable missions was STS-71, which marked a number of
firsts in human spaceflight: 100th U.S. manned space flight; first U.S.
shuttle-Russian Space Station Mir docking and joint on-orbit operations;
and first on-orbit changeout of shuttle crew. When linked, Atlantis and
Mir together formed the largest spacecraft in orbit at the time.
This handcrafted model is painted in the same paint scheme as
the original and is painstakingly built from Philippine mahogany by our
skilled craftsmen. Perfect as a gift for any aviation enthusiast and
history buff!
