Greetings space fans!
To celebrate the successful arrival of the Juno spacecraft into polar orbit around Jupiter I have created some free instructions for a microscale model made from 85 elements. You can see the parts list and download the instructions from Rebrickable.

If you like that, I am selling instructions for a much larger and more detailed minifigure-scale version for $9.90. You can go to Rebrickable to check out the parts list for this 887 piece model and purchase instructions. There are more images in my Flickr album including example instruction images.

The instructions for both models are packed with additional educational information about the spacecraft, its instruments, and its mission. I'm very excited to learn what this mission will uncover about my favorite planet, Jupiter. On top of that, the actual spacecraft is carrying three passengers in the form of LEGO minifigures made out of Aluminum, so I thought it was only fitting to make and share my LEGO versions of this incredible spacecraft.
