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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eModel Specifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Challenging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Sheets:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 Sheets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAssembled Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.75\" L x 5.76\" W x 4.53\" H (19.69 x 14.63 x 11.5 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"label\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAges:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003e14+\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🛠️ \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/7028\/6987\/files\/ICX140-v1.4-s25.pdf?v=1788465712\" title=\"ISS Assembly Instructions\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDownload the Official Assembly Instructions (PDF)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"margin: 15px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin-top: 10px;\"\u003e🔭 From the Desk of Paul Bracken:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e \"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.\" \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fascinations","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49306312867979,"sku":"SS-KT","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/7028\/6987\/files\/0013053_international-space-station.jpg?v=1788465583","url":"https:\/\/bracken-observatory.com\/products\/international-space-station-iss-metal-earth-3d-model-kit","provider":"Bracken Observatory®","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
