Estes Flying Model Rocket Kit Cosmic Cascade EST 1321
Two Stages, Endless Discoveries
The Cosmic Cascade brings the thrill of two-stage rocket launches to students, offering a hands-on opportunity to explore advanced concepts in physics and aerodynamics. Launch the first stage alone to see how it performs, then add the second stage for even more impressive heights. This modular approach allows students to observe and compare the mechanics and effects of multi-stage flight.
Quick and Easy Assembly
Say goodbye to complicated builds! The Cosmic Cascade features snap-in fins and minimal gluing, making it simple and quick to assemble. Designed for busy classrooms and clubs, this rocket ensures more time is spent launching and learning, rather than assembling. Students can focus on experimenting and exploring, while educators can enjoy a stress-free setup process.
Creative and Customizable Design
Encourage student creativity with the Cosmic Cascade’s blank body tube. Students can decorate and personalize their rockets with their own designs, making each one a unique masterpiece. Whether it’s a fun artistic activity or a chance to explore branding and identity, this feature adds a personal touch to the learning experience.
Data Collection Made Easy
The Cosmic Cascade’s payload section is perfect for real-world experimentation. Easily add an altimeter to collect flight data or test the effects of added mass on altitude. By integrating tools for data collection, this rocket helps students develop analytical skills while exploring scientific principles.
Endless Experimentation Opportunities
From comparing single-stage and two-stage launches to experimenting with payload weight, the Cosmic Cascade offers a variety of experiments that reinforce STEM concepts. Its flexible design allows for repeated use and continuous learning, making it an invaluable resource for classrooms, clubs, and STEM enthusiasts.
Built for Education
Estes Education designed the Cosmic Cascade with educators in mind. Its durable materials and reliable recovery system ensure consistent performance, even after multiple launches. This rocket is more than a learning tool—it’s a gateway to inspiring the next generation of scientists, engineers, and innovators.
The Cosmic Cascade is the ultimate blend of creativity, experimentation, and hands-on learning. With its two-stage design, customizable features, and focus on STEM education, this rocket empowers students to explore the science behind rocketry in an engaging and unforgettable way. Bring the Cosmic Cascade to your classroom or program and watch your students reach new heights!
