2024 has been the year of LEGO and Space but one theme has been missing any intergalactic themed models. This is the 18+ LEGO Icons theme which has seen plenty of NASA-branded models in recent years and will see another one release on the 15th of May 2024. The last NASA-themed LEGO Icons model released back in 2021 of 10283 NASA Space Shuttle Discovery so it's nice to see this partnership be rekindled.
This 2024 LEGO Icons NASA set will be entitled Artemis One Rocket & Launchpad and comes under the Icons set number of 10341. The Artemis One Rocket is a part of NASAs most recent trips to the moon which, is unsurprising, called the Artemis Program. The project was successfully tested with an unmanned flight back in November 2022 and will now be appearing in brick-built LEGO form in less than two months time.
The rocket of the Artemis One mission consists of a heavy launch vehicle and the Orion spacecraft at its top, which is intended to take the astronauts to the moon and back again. These details will be replicated in the LEGO version which will also include a detailed launchpad to add further value to the 18+ set which will retail for $259.99.
10341 also includes 3,601 pieces for this $260 price point making it the biggest LEGO NASA-themed Space set yet. However, with both a rocket and a launchpad included, 10341 may not include the biggest LEGO rocket so far. Either way, we can expect an extremely detailed display model, further expanding our range of Space-themed LEGO sets in 2024.
