Pitsco Solid-Fuel Rockets - Getting Started Package

This economical little book is a must-have when building a rocket. The full-color book features a short history of rockets, a materials list, rocket-building instructions, how to use the Pitsco LaunchGuard System, and the National Association of Rocketry’s safety code.

With the Pitsco Solid-Fuel Rocket Kit, students engage in a rewarding, hands-on project. They build the body tube, design and shape the rocket fins, and make the parachute recovery system. When they’re finished, they watch their rockets blast toward the stratosphere. Enough engines and igniters are included for 25 rockets to be launched twice.

Please note that rocket engines ship separately and take 3-4 weeks for delivery via USPS. Individuals needing these materials sooner can pay an additional hazard fee to have the items delivered via UPS. To ship via UPS, you must call our customer service team at 800-835-0686 and place your order.
