Little Rocket Standard Parts
Little Rocket’s Toolbox (also known as Little Rockets Standard Parts) is an ongoing art project and illustrated catalogue of original technical drawings inspired by the Space Shuttle Program. Each page features hand-drawn studies of bolts, nuts, screws, and mechanical components, carefully labeled with their authentic NASA serial numbers.
This evolving collection celebrates the hidden beauty and precision of spacecraft engineering, transforming ordinary mechanical parts into symbols of human creativity, exploration, and collaboration. As the project continues to grow, more drawings are being added to build a comprehensive visual archive of these essential space shuttle elements — the unsung pieces that made extraordinary missions possible.
