Bring the most complex engineering project in human history right to your desk with this incredibly detailed Metal Earth 3D Model Kit of the International Space Station (ISS).
Orbiting the Earth over 15 times a day at a staggering 17,500 miles per hour, the ISS is a low-orbit research laboratory that has continuously housed astronauts from multiple nations since November 2000. Spanning approximately 356 feet (109 m) wide—larger than a football field—this collaborative outpost hosts groundbreaking research projects, from studying the effects of microgravity on living organisms to the search for dark matter.

"Capturing a transit of the ISS across the face of the moon is one of the most thrilling—and nerve-wracking—challenges in amateur astrophotography. It moves across the eyepiece's field of view in a fraction of a second! While tracking the real thing takes precise timing and clear skies, this meticulously detailed model lets you appreciate the sheer scale of the station at your own pace. It's a beautiful tribute to international cooperation in space, and a highly rewarding build for those cloudy nights when the dome stays closed."
