Mechanics Lab - Floating space shuttle

Dive into engineering with the Clementoni Space Shuttle Mechanics Workshop. Assemble the shuttle and set off on space adventures like a real astronaut.

Once built, the shuttle appears to float in mid-air through the effect of tension—a striking way to explore mechanics and engineering through hands-on play.

Following the step-by-step instructions in the manual or app, kids complete the build, activate the mechanisms, and discover the principle behind the optical illusion: tensegrity, a fascinating physics concept. Build, test, adjust, and refine.

The shuttle also detaches from its base for open play, with moving features to explore: adjustable ailerons, an opening cargo bay, and the Canadarm inside, the robotic arm used in real missions in space.
