Metal Earth Space Shuttle Atlantis
Celebrate the legacy of the fourth operational orbiter with the Metal Earth Space Shuttle Atlantis. Launched on its maiden voyage in 1985, Atlantis was the true workhorse of the shuttle fleet, responsible for launching the first interplanetary probe to Venus and serving as the vessel for the very final mission of the Space Shuttle program in 2011. This DIY metal kit allows you to build a sleek, silver stainless steel tribute to the craft that orbited Earth 4,848 times.
