Solar Sailer

Description

1978 Catalog:

Simulates one of the newest, most sophisticated space concepts for the 1980s, and like the Space Shuttle Enterprise, Estes engineers have it flying long before NASA does. Developed for low cost, long duration, deep space missions the real vehicle will use sunlight pressure to push it away from Earth at speeds up to 35,000 mph. Our model features printed balsa fins, quick-release engine mount and realistic decals simulating solar panels and girder construction. Truly spectacular recovery with giant 24" solar sail 'chute.

Recommended Engines:

B6-4(First Flight) C6-5
