100 comments
Name given to this installation by the space exploration force to celebrate the year marking the 100th anniversary of the discovery of the Tezta planetary system in that sector of the galaxy.
 
What is it?
It is a modular tower build in a 32 x 32 baseplate with a space tower, rover, launch platform, rocket, and drone.
 
The base is composed of four modules:
 
Rocket Hangar – The lower part of the observation tower. Houses a rocket transport and has a garage equipped to repair and assemble a rocket for exploration purpose. Also has doors on the back to move out the rocket transport.
 
Observatory – Comprehends the upper floors of the observation tower. Consists of a control room and the spectroscope dome. The observatory can rotate to position the spectroscope and the top dome also opens to operate the scope.
 
Fuel station - Located aside the tower. It is used by the rover.
 
Launch platform- Positioned behind the tower, it´s used to liftoff the rocket. A pair of rails connects the platform to the rear doors of the tower. The rocket transport deposits the rocket on the platform and retrieves back to the Hangar.

Includes 3 astronauts: Orange (Maintenace), Yellow (Scientist) and Light gray (Senior)

UPGRADE 1
Added a Blacktron Infiltrator ship with a Spy Android.
The Infiltrator has three modules: Cockpit, Mobile base and Satellite.
The cockpit is used to transport and deploy the mobile base.
The Mobile base has a communication center for surveillance activities.
The Satellite is also used to carry tools and the Spy android.
The Spy android is controlled remotely and carries audio and video equipment. 

 
Why did you build it?
I´m experimenting with new concepts which can be used with the Classic Space theme.
 
Why do you believe this would make a great LEGO set?
It has a double function. For Adult costumers, brings them back to the joy of Classic Space with also a custom design of the 80´s crater plates. In the other hand, for the young costumers, many cool play features and hours of entertainment of space exploration. Also links these two different 80s themes for the first time.
