Take a giant leap into the world of space engineering with the LEGO® Technic™ NASA Apollo Lunar Roving Vehicle (42182), a premium model-building set designed for adult space enthusiasts. This intricate set is a faithful recreation of the lunar rover module used during the historic Apollo 17 mission — the final crewed mission of NASA’s Apollo program — and comes packed with authentic details that celebrate mankind’s remarkable journey to the Moon.
Carefully designed for display and hands-on exploration, this model unfolds to reveal the full layout of the iconic lunar vehicle. It includes three attachable scientific equipment sets that mirror the tools astronauts used to gather valuable lunar data. Builders can interact with fully functioning steering and suspension systems, offering a taste of the challenges faced while navigating the Moon’s rugged terrain.
The rover’s battery pack is detailed with built-in heating and cooling elements, and the model features a realistic TV camera setup with articulated antennae. Additional accessories include a communication unit, tools like a shovel and drill, and collectible LEGO Moon rock elements that add depth and storytelling potential to the build.
Also included is a model of the Traverse Gravimeter Experiment — a crucial piece of Apollo 17’s scientific exploration — and a tribute to "Big Muley", the largest Moon rock ever returned to Earth by the Apollo missions. Whether you’re a lifelong space fan or a curious builder seeking an immersive, educational project, this model makes a stunning display and an inspiring gift.
