Welcome to           SITE UPDATED 2008 MAY 9 THE SCI Catalog HOW TO ORDER SCIENCE KITs Assembly Instructions, Fact Sheets, Presentation Guides FREE KITS GREAT LINKS! Space Craft® SCIENCE KITs are certain to delight anyone with a keen interest in space exploration, almost regardless of age. They are not simple, and they require lots of care to assemble. As such, they offer an "Ah-ha! So that's how it works" satisfaction for those who are inquisitive. They're popular among engineers and scientists, and anyone who enjoys building scale models. They might not be suitable for kids younger than about twelve, though, depending almost entirely on motivation. By spending an enjoyable day or more assembling one, you'll learn all the major parts of a real spacecraft. You'll understand how it carries out its mission in space. And, you'll have a handsome scale model for your home, for your office, or for your school project! We only mail you the model parts. By using materials on this web site for assembly instructions and information (have a look at this sample illustration from a fact sheet), you can have a detailed, high-quality, realistic, scale model of an actual robotic spacecraft for as little as $8.95, including first-class postage in the U.S., Canada or Mexico (shipping elsewhere is extra). Don't be misled by the low prices. These scale models are full of intricate detail. Build Voyager (One and Two, outer solar system mariners), Lunar Prospector, Galileo (the Jupiter orbiter and probe), Hubble Space Telescope, Magellan (Venus radar mapper), and Mars Global Surveyor. Each one takes several hours of careful assembly using white glue, while you learn just about everything there is to know about these spacecraft! Space-faring craft are designed to have low mass and high strength. SCI takes full advantage of this, reproducing the spacecraft's key design features. This way, we too can use lightweight material. With the high-resolution laser cutting we employ, paper has lots of advantages. We use a special 100% recycled card stock. Lithography and bonded metal foil duplicate proper color and detail, so little or no touch-up is required. Parts are labeled for your convenience. Paper is a relatively easy material to work with, and the glue is non-toxic. Look! Here are some free educational spacecraft model kits you can download and build... The SCI Catalog has full descriptions of each Space Craft® SCIENCE Kit. Before leaving, be sure to read all about SCI. All spacecraft shown on this site are photos of assembled SCI Kits.
