The Rocket Kits

 

The rocket kits are produced to our own designs, and have been proven over hundreds of launches.

 

We produce a range of kits to challenge all age groups. They are supplied (1 kit to 2 students) in a sealed pack complete with instructions, you can see an example of the instructions by clicking below:

The kits can be tailored to provide a greater or lesser challenge to accommodate workshops of different durations.

The rocket motors themselves are commercially sourced and carry the CE marking.  Firing is undertaken remotely, from a safe distance using a specially designed firing box requiring a safety key to arm it.  The box has 2 FIRE buttons that have to be pressed at the same time by the 2 rocket builders to launch the rocket. 

If all goes wrong during the build, we have an additional design that takes just 15 minutes so that no-one is disappointed.
