The mission of the Brick Space Agency is to showcase all the amazing LEGO space modelsĀ and their creators. Discover, build, and share your own fleet of rockets, launch vehicles, spacecraft, and space stations!
Apollo 13 Mission
Seventh crewed Apollo mission aborted after the Oxygen tank of the Service Module exploded.
Falcon Heavy
SpaceX partially reusable heavy-lift launch vehicle derived from the Falcon 9. Consists of a strengthened Falcon 9 first stage center core and two Falcon 9 first stage strap-on boosters. As of 2021, Falcon Heavy had the highest payload capacity of operating rockets and the third highest of...
Saturn IB
Atlas LV-3B (Mercury-Atlas Launch Vehicle)
America's second manned launch vehicle and the first to reach orbit for the Mercury program. Manufactured by Convair and derived from the SM-65D Atlas missile making it a member of the Atlas family of rockets. Launched a total of four crewed Mercury spacecraft.
Titan II GLV (Gemini Launch Vehicle)
Titan II missile derived launch vehicle used to launch twelve Gemini missions for NASA.
Long March 5 (CZ-5)
Heavy Lift launch vehicle developed by the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology. First to use non-hypergolic liquid fuels. As of 2021 it is the 3rd most powerful launch vehicle.
Apollo Recovery Mission / Helicopter 66
During the Apollo 8, Apollo 10, and Apollo 11 missions, Helicopter Sikorsky Sea King SH-3D with number 66 was the primary recovery vehicle which hoisted returning astronauts from the spacecraft command modules.
Titan IIIC
USAF expendable launch vehicle used from 1965 until 1982. First Titan family rocket to use large solid rocket motors. Intended for launch of the Dyna-Soar (cancelled) but primarily launched DoD payloads.
Titan II GLV (Gemini Launch Vehicle)
American launch vehicle derived from the Titan II missile. Launched twelve Gemini program missions featuring the first flights with two astronauts.
Titan Mover Trains
The Titan project also had a twin track linking the assembly buildings and launch pads; specially adapted EMD SW-8 switchers were used to move the rocket.
Skylab
First American manned space station launched 14 May, 1973. Originated as the Orbital Workshop then vastly upgraded to take advantage of remaining Saturn V rockets.
X-15
American manned spaceplane used for hypersonic research. Conducted tests for ballistic flight, winged reentry, and gliding recovery. The X-15 was intended to evolve to a manned orbital spacecraft until the urgent need for the Mercury and Gemini programs surfaced. Research from the X-15 eventually led to the...
