The Estes Orbitron Model Rocket Kit combines futuristic design and scientific exploration for an unforgettable hands-on experience. Designed for beginner rocketeers, this STEM rocket-building kit introduces kids and adults to the exciting world of aerospace and flight science. The Orbitron features a sleek, aerodynamic body, a stabilizer ring, and colorful decals that make it a standout both on display and during launch. It also has a clear payload section that invites imaginative thinking and creative experiments for young builders.

With a projected altitude of up to 950 ft. when powered by an Estes D12-7 rocket engine (sold separately), the Orbitron demonstrates real-world principles of thrust, aerodynamics, and recovery. Builders can enjoy the thrill of crafting their flying model rocket in approximately 1 hour before heading outdoors to test their creation and discover flight physics firsthand.

To launch this rocket, you will need an Estes Porta Pad II Launch Pad, an Electron Beam Launch Controller, a 3/16-inch 2-piece “Maxi” Launch Rod, compatible Estes model-rocket engines, Starters, Recovery Wadding, and any extra materials listed in the directions (sold separately). Always follow the NAR (National Association of Rocketry) model-rocket safety code during operation.

Estes rocket kits are built from the highest-quality components and designed around the unforgettable experience of pressing “launch.” Our hobby and STEM educational products range across all skill levels, interests, and power levels.
