The Centuri Space Shuttle was introduced in Catalog #711 in 1971 as a late addition. It was featured on the back cover and its specifications were on the inside back cover. The Centuri Space Shuttle was based on an early proposal to NASA that did not make the final cut. Featuring two Gliders and a streamer recovered pod, the Space Shuttle was a popular kit for years. Using plastic nose cones, the glide recovery was hard to trim. Launches were exciting and following all three pieces down made recovery a challenge.

The Semroc Retro-Repro Space Shuttle is a faithful reproduction of the original. All fins and rings are precision laser-cut balsa and sturdy fiber. The plastic nose cones are replaced with much lighter balsa reproductions for ease of trimming the gliders.
