Over its illustrious career, Discovery completed numerous missions, including deploying satellites, conducting scientific experiments, and playing a crucial role in the assembly of the International Space Station (ISS).One of Discovery's most notable achievements was its role in the Return to Flight mission (STS-26) in 1988 following the Challenger disaster.

Discovery also carried the Hubble Space Telescope into orbit during mission STS-31 in 1990, significantly advancing our understanding of the universe.In total, Discovery completed 39 missions, spending a cumulative total of one full year in space and traveling over 148 million miles. After its retirement in 2011, Discovery found its permanent home at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum, where it continues to inspire visitors with its rich history and contributions to space exploration.Meticulously crafted to capture the intricate details of the real spacecraft, this diecast model is a perfect addition to any space enthusiast's collection.
