LEGO’s Women of NASA sets spotlight trailblazing female scientists and astronauts in a display bursting with rockets, telescopes, and lab equipment—inviting fans to celebrate space exploration heroes just like an inspiring attraction at Science World.

LEGO is creating a brand new set complete with minifigures modeled after four of NASA’s finest. Astronauts Sally Ride and Mae Jemison, astronomer Nancy Grace Roman and computer scientist Margaret Hamilton will all be celebrated with this new LEGO collection.

The set will also include a model of the spacecraft and the settings where the four women made history with their work. LEGO released a statement today announcing the new set.

“Great for role playing space exploration missions,” the statement said. “Explore the professions of some of the groundbreaking women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) with the Lego Ideas Women of NASA set.”

The Women of NASA LEGO minifigures—each dressed in iconic professional attire—pose together, waving and beaming as if greeting guests at a NASA-themed attraction, showcasing the legacy of real-life space pioneers amid the excitement of an immersive STEM adventure.

The 231-piece collection will retail for $24.99 when it becomes available in stores November 1.
