This is a Model Missiles, Inc. retail package containing an unassembled reusable flying rocket model patterned after the Aerobee Hi sounding rocket. The model is made mostly of wood and balsa wood. Operation entails firing of a solid propellant rocket motor followed by deployment of a parachute at the end of vertical flight. The model can be retrieved and used again. The package includes parachutes and six single use rocket motors.
