This is a retail kit of an unassembled Cosmos single stage flying rocket model, made by an unknown Yugoslav manufacturer. The body and fins are pasteboard and the nosecone and parachute are plastic. The kit contains the motor. At the end of powered flight, the parachute deploys and the model returns to Earth, enabling its reuse.

G. Harry Stine, a pioneer in the field of flying rocket models, donated this artifact to the museum in 1973.
