Ultimate Rocket Kit

Book excerpt: Become an expert rocketeer as you build and launch your rockets on a number of out-of-this-world missions. Fifteen double-sided cards show clear, step-by-step instructions. The kit provides a fun introduction to the science of rocketry and pneumatics. The topics explored support the Science and Technology Curricula. Mission One Get ready to launch a Space Probe on its first mission. Mark out your safety zone, check all is clear, and stand back . . . Mission Two Blast off on a manned Space Shuttle mission into space. See how far out of the safety zone your Shuttle will land, as it glides back to earth. Mission Three Your aim is to land a Space Capsule on one of the three planets. Check all is in place, begin your countdown, and blast off. Mission Four Are you ready for the ultimate test? It is time to deploy a Space Station in deep space. Prepare your rocket carefully.
