LEGO City set 3368, Rocket Launch Center, depicts a space launch facility with a rocket and supporting personnel. Released in 2011, it belongs to the City theme and contains 499 pieces for a scene focused on launch operations.
Rocket Launch Center places a spaceflight subject inside the grounded setting of LEGO City. It is not presented as a science-fiction license, but as a civil launch facility with a rocket and the staff needed to support it.
The figures are a man with black vest, tie, dark brown hair and beard, a ground crew member in a blue jumpsuit with orange stripes and pockets, an astronaut in white with a blue cap, and a female astronaut in white with a blue cap. Together, they cover both flight crew and ground support roles.
The set suits play based on mission preparation, launch-day activity and coordination between crew members. It can also be displayed as part of a City collection focused on services, transport and technical facilities. Within City, its subject is distinctive because it brings space operations into an otherwise urban theme.
