Chimpston the Ape-Stronaut

A model of a chimpanzee in a typical space jumpsuit, equipped with a jetpack and tools. Also includes a stand with a transparent beam to make it look like he's weightless! In the early days of space travel, chimpanzees and other primates were essential in proving that humans could live in space. Ham, a chimp astronaut, performed basic tasks in zero-G before returning safely to Earth, demonstrating that humans would be able to maintain a spacecraft without gravity.

This model contains 152 pieces.
