Do the Shuttle: Kenner Orbiter 6

A new one on me, this is Kenner's 1980 Orbiter 6 Shuttle. 

It looks quite a thing.

I really like the spaceship design. Where've they got that from?

Satellite of Love

 I found a nice little piece of ebay the other day, the small satellite from the 1980 Corgi Moonraker Shuttle. Its unusual to see it on its own and also quite rare to find it present in a loose model of the shuttle itself.

I'm not a huge Space Shuttle fan, personally and was a bit disappointed when the film version was almost the same as the real one, apart from slightly simplified windows. But the little die-cast and plastic satellite - which oddly bears no resemblance to the movie ones - is quite nice. Fold out solar panels allow it to sit snugly in the bay.
