NASA Co-Branded LEGO Sets

LEGO and NASA have maintained one of the most extensive and long-standing collaborations between the toy maker and a government organization, spanning educational initiatives and multiple officially licensed sets. Their partnership began with early LEGO City Space themes inspired by NASA missions and grew into direct cooperation on projects like the LEGO NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309), NASA Space Shuttle Discovery (10283), and Women of NASA (21312). LEGO designers have worked closely with NASA engineers and scientists to ensure technical and historical accuracy in these models, often incorporating authentic mission details and educational content. The collaboration also extends to STEM outreach programs, including LEGO Education’s space-themed kits and astronaut-endorsed activities promoting science learning. Through these efforts, LEGO and NASA have consistently merged play and education to inspire interest in space exploration and engineering.
