Description

Spaceflight seen from the ground

This set shows the centre from which space flights are followed. It belongs to the Town theme and within it to Space Port, a series about a spaceport and its technology. Mission Control therefore shows the other side of space travel: the rocket is not the centre of attention, but the people and equipment on the ground who monitor everything. It appeared in 1999 and tells its story in its own way. That makes it a nice counterpart to the usual spaceship models filling most space fans’ shelves.

Facts from the parts list

The list adds up to 496 pieces in 170 different types. That large variety shows that many special parts are used, for equipment, consoles and details. Four minifigures are included as well. White, black, light grey and yellow set the tone and create a sober, technical mood. You can view every element individually further down this page and search by colour or type whenever you need to. Special parts deserve a closer look, since they do not appear in every bucket.

Display or play

Four figures are enough for small scenes: staff at the equipment, visitors or a crew on the way to launch. As a play set the building can be joined with other Space Port models, while as a display piece the clear colour scheme makes it look calm and tidy. That suits collectors who like space themes of the late nineties and enjoy building a whole site out of several different buildings.

Many types, many options

Because so many different types are packed into the set, it is interesting as a source of parts. Add it to your collection and start “What can I build?” to see which further models it makes possible. Technical details, screens and consoles can be used in other building projects too, from spaceships to research stations, and you quickly see which of the parts in your stock fit together well. That saves sorting time and invites new combinations beyond the spaceport.
