The docking station found on the ISS kit can be attached to the space shuttle and cargo capsule included. Additionally, the kit comes with two astronaut Minifigures that can play out any repairs that need to be made on the representation of the collaborative effort between NASA, Russia’s Roscosmos, Europe’s ESA and Canada’s CSA.
