Publisher's Description of Space Corps Centurion Launch Set
Project Centurion started six years ago in response to the mysterious Asteroid Belt discovery now designated XAB-1. According to recently declassified communiques, in 2055 a convoy of Space Corps Corvette Class rockets detected an anomalous energy source near Asteroid Vesta. The patrol had stumbled upon what can only be described as an alien spacecraft engaged in clandestine observations of Earth.
Before it could be determined if the strange vessel was friend or foe, it disappeared in a brilliant flash of blue light leaving nothing behind. Where did the alien ship come from and what was its mission? More importantly, will it return, and will it bring with it an invading army? Or will we be greeted by new alien allies from a distant world?
With no choice but to prepare for the worst, Space Corps commissioned Project Centurion to meet the defense needs of Earth and the Solar Colonies. This crash program engaged the best scientific and engineering minds from throughout the Solar System. Their charge: design and build an adaptive space defense system to counter an unknown but potentially powerful adversary. No expense or effort was spared. The result, the Space Corps Centurion agile interceptor and space fighter, is now operational and ready to protect Earth and the human settlements.
The Estes Space Corp Centurion model rocket is an almost-ready-to-fly scale version of this future, historic space fighter. Simply install the included 9 inch parachute and shock cord and your assembly is complete! The Space Corps Centurion launches upright using a standard Estes launch pad and launch controller (included) and returns to Earth under its own parachute. This versatile model can fly on a wide range of Estes A through C engines which means you can select the right engine for your field and wind conditions. Maximum altitude is 700-feet on a C6-5 engine – not quite high enough to make orbit, but plenty of altitude to impress your launch day spectators! Launch your own Estes Space Corp Centurion today and do your part to safeguard humanity!
LAUNCH SYSTEM includes Estes Porta-Pad II Launch Pad and Electron Beam Launch Controller.
WHAT YOU NEED TO LAUNCH (sold separately): Estes model rocket engines, starters and recovery wadding. Four 1.5V high quality AA alkaline batteries are also required for launch controller (not included).
Category Description for Estes Rockets and Este Kits
5...4...3...2...1...0...LIFTOFF!!! Bring the excitement of Cape Canaveral to your own backyard with these fun and exciting rockets from Estes. Estes leads the world in model rocketry, combining the art of model-building with the thrill of liftoff. I have built several rockets, including the Supershot Starter Set, and though science didn't strike my fancy, rocketry did. The directions for assembly and liftoff were easy to follow; even though I had never previously dabbled in rocketry, I was able to build my rockets with little help, and soon proudly displayed my finished rocket, launcher, and launching pad. With the whole neighborhood looking on, I prepared for launch. Stepping back the required distance, everyone began the countdown. At blast-off, the rocket was engaged, soared up into the sky, and shrunk to a tiny dot we could hardly see. After apogee (the highest point in a rocket's flight), the parachute popped out, and the rocket floated gently down to our awaiting hands (we always try to catch them on their way down). Wow, I thought, everything went perfectly. Of course, everyone wanted to see it again. No problem. I just needed to replace the engine (maybe a bigger one this time), more recovery wadding, etc., and it was ready to launch again. Rocket kits are recommended for ages 10 and up, with adult supervision for children under 12.
