Lego Moon Exploration Original Design
At the dawn of new lunar exploration campaigns, scheduled for the years to come, in order to detect and map the location of important natural elements such as hydrogen, oxygen and lunar water, our project “Moon Exploration” commemorates the lunar exploration missions, 50 years ago now!
This collaborative project build in real Lego bricks was created in November 2021 by Gilles Quideau and Matthew Nolan.
The 166-page building guide (it includes the building instructions, the printable decals sheet & two bricks lists style .xml and .pdf), is now available only by email request here: aloha.bricks@gmail.com
At Minifigure scale (1/42), our 310 bricks design includes:
-A display base measuring 26 x 18 studs (20.8 x 14.4 cm) with, inscribed on its periphery, the 12 astronauts’ names who walked on the Moon.
-The Moon Buggy (LRV: Lunar Roving Vehicle) designed to help astronauts explore the surface of the moon.
For more playability, like in real life, our model includes all the on-board instruments and can be folded up to fit in a volume of 6 x 6 x 9 studs.
- Retro-reflector (LLRE: Lunar Laser Ranging Experiment) that accurately measures the earth-moon distance and its variations with the round trip of a laser pulse sent from the Earth.
-Seismometer (PSEP: Passive Seismic Experiment Package) Fully autonomous with orientable solar panels and a telecommunications system. It also comprises a lunar dust detector.
-Two astronauts and the American flag.
