This is an Aerobee-Hi flying rocket model built by Model Missiles in the late 1950s or 1960s. It is not known whether it was flown. The model has a paper body, balsa fins, rubber nosecone, and a cloth parachute. A solid propellant rocket motor propels the model, and then at the end of the vertical flight it forces the release of a parachute. The model is then retrieved and can be used again.
The model was donated by G. Harry Stine, one of the American pioneers in the field of flying rocket and missile models, in 1973.
