4. Assembly Instructions
Follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the included instruction booklet. It is recommended to sort the building blocks by color and shape before starting. Some bags may contain parts for multiple steps; refer to the booklet for specific part identification for each step.
4.1. Preparing for Assembly
- Unpack all contents from the box.
- Carefully open the plastic bags containing the building blocks.
- Organize the blocks on a clean, flat surface. It is helpful to use separate containers for different types or colors of blocks.
- Locate the instruction booklet and familiarize yourself with the assembly sequence.
4.2. Building the Space Shuttle and Rocket
Begin by assembling the core components of the space shuttle and its external tank/solid rocket boosters as detailed in the instruction booklet. Pay close attention to the orientation of each piece.

4.6. Using the Disassembler Tool
The included disassembler tool can be used to separate tightly connected blocks. Insert the thin edge of the tool between two blocks and gently pry them apart. Avoid excessive force to prevent damage to the blocks.
5. Operating Instructions
This building block set is designed for imaginative play and display. The assembled models do not contain electronic components or moving parts that require power.
- The space shuttle can be detached from the rocket boosters and external tank for simulated flight.
- The launch tower elements can be repositioned or removed as desired for different play scenarios.
- The manned detection vehicle and satellite are separate models that can be used independently or as part of a larger space exploration scene.
