This is a plastic assembled flying rocket model in its retail package. Also included are a parachute, launch stand, a launch control box and wires to connect it to the model, and three motors. At the end of powered flight, the parachute deploys and the model falls back to Earth, enabling its reuse.
G. Harry Stine, a pioneer in the field of model rockets, donated this artifact to NASM in 1973.
