Product Description

1-35 Scale. The Moebius Jupiter 2 is approximately 18-inches in diameter. Full first floor interior with careful attention to accuracy. Manually retracting landing gear makes this displayable in a flight mode, or on land as seen in many episodes.

The Lost in Space crew had a number of means of transport available to them. First and foremost thogh, there was the nuclear-powered Jupiter 2 (originally named Gemini 12)spacecraft. Essentially a flying saucer with two internal levels. At the lower level was the "atomic engine" (which used "deutronium" for fuel), the crew accommodations, a kitchen, laboratory, and the space robot's recharging/storage station. The top level of the saucer housed the guidance system and the cryogenic tubes to allow the Robinson family and crew to survive thevast distances of interstellar travel. A fixed ladder and an elevator were used to traverse between decks. The Jupiter 2 maintained an artificial gravity for crew comfort and orientation.
