A Limited Edition Rocket for a Once-in-a-Generation Celebration
The Liberty Star™ was created to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary with the kind of launch-day excitement only an Estes rocket can deliver. Its bold red, white, and blue deco scheme brings patriotic energy to every countdown, giving families a thrilling, hands-on way to celebrate that goes beyond the usual fireworks show.
As a limited edition release, the Liberty Star is available only in limited quantities for this historic milestone. It is a rocket made for the moment, combining the pride of celebration with the thrill of liftoff in a design that feels just as meaningful on display as it does climbing into the sky.
Fast Assembly for First-Time Flyers
Designed with beginners in mind, the Liberty Star assembles in under 10 minutes, making it an easy choice for new rocketeers who want to get from box to launch pad quickly. The molded plastic fins help simplify the build while giving the rocket a clean, durable look that is ready for repeated launch-day excitement.
That quick assembly also makes it a great option for families. Parents, grandparents, and young builders can share the experience without getting slowed down by a complicated build, then enjoy the reward of watching their rocket lift off and climb.
Big Performance in a Patriotic Rocket
The Liberty Star may be beginner-friendly, but it still brings the thrill Estes flyers expect. With recommended C11-5 or D12-5 engines, this model rocket can reach projected altitudes up to 920 feet, delivering a strong liftoff and an impressive climb that feels exciting from the moment the engine ignites.
Its 23.9 inch length and 1.64 inch diameter give it a confident presence on the launch pad, while the high-contrast patriotic color scheme helps it stand out before, during, and after flight. It is easy to picture this rocket becoming the one everyone wants to see launch again.
Reliable Recovery for More Launch-Day Fun
After its flight, the Liberty Star returns under a 15 inch parachute recovery system, helping bring the rocket safely back to earth so the fun can continue. It is built for the kind of repeat launches that make model rocketry so rewarding, especially when every flight gives new flyers a better feel for countdowns, liftoff, tracking, and recovery.
A Rocket Worth Remembering
Whether you are celebrating a historic milestone, introducing someone to their first Estes rocket, or adding a patriotic favorite to your collection, the Liberty Star is designed to make the moment feel special. It offers a more interactive way to celebrate than simply watching fireworks, giving families the chance to build, count down, launch, recover, and relive the excitement together.
For launch, use either the Porta-Pad II or Porta-Pad E Launch Pad with the required 3/16 inch Two-Piece MAXI™ Launch Rod. Engines, starters, recovery wadding, and launch supplies are sold separately.
