Product Overview
This is arguably the most "high-tech" piece in your collection. Because this model actually floats, I have leaned into the "weightlessness" theme while ensuring the technical specs and historical gravity of the Columbia aren't lost in the magic of the levitation.
Apollo 11 Command Module "Columbia" Floating Model – EXE9824 1:30 Scale
Defy Gravity with a Milestone of Flight
Experience the weightlessness of space on your own desk. This extraordinary 1:30 scale replica of the Apollo 11 Command Module "Columbia" features Magnetic Levitation technology, allowing the capsule to hover and rotate in mid-air above its base.
It is a stunning, kinetic tribute to the 1969 lunar landing. While the real Columbia carried Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins across the vacuum of space, this model brings that sense of celestial wonder into your home or office with a display that truly defies gravity.
Premium Features & "Zero-G" Detail
-
Magnetic Levitation: Utilizing advanced electromagnetic sensors, the capsule floats effortlessly above the base, mimicking the orbital environment of the original spacecraft.
-
Interactive Exploration: Features a removable hatch that reveals a meticulously detailed interior, allowing you to inspect the living quarters where the crew spent their historic eight-day mission.
-
Museum-Quality Craftsmanship: Every inch of the exterior—from the heat-reflective surfacing to the recovery hook points—is rendered with the precision you expect from the Executive Series.

The "Columbia" Legacy: Replicates the only portion of the Apollo 11 stack to return to Earth, bringing the "Milestone of Flight" currently housed at the Smithsonian to life in your collection.
Mission Highlights: July 1969
The Command Module was the heart of the Apollo mission. It served as the crew’s home during the 238,000-mile journey to the Moon and was the only vessel capable of surviving the 5,000°F heat of reentry. On July 24, 1969, "Columbia" splashed down safely in the Pacific Ocean, just 12 miles from the USS Hornet, forever cementing its place as the most famous spacecraft in human history.
