72011 ESA: Mars Research Rocket

Developed in cooperation with the European Space Agency (ESA), PLAYMOBIL brings the fascination of space exploration directly into children's rooms! Two astronauts have safely landed on the Red Planet with their research rocket – ready to collect soil samples and bring them back to Earth! The rocket is modular: it can be extended or shortened depending on the mission and can dock with the mobile landing platform, which serves as a base station on Mars. Movable crane arms assist in picking up the soil samples and securely stowing them in the rocket before launch – either in the front storage area or in the uniquely shaped nose cone. The rocket provides seating for both astronauts. Prepare for launch – the next PLAYMOBIL research mission is about to begin!.
