Details

Explore the fascinating history of the Star Hopper Rocket, the world's first interplanetary spacecraft created under Project Star Hopper in 1949. With strange unidentified flying objects being reported, a group of government scientists aimed to design a fast and maneuverable piloted vehicle that could compete with the unknown aerial phenomena.

Though no proof exists, Estes' snap-together Star Hopper Rocket kit brings the elusive project to life with its retro atomic-age silver paint scheme and detail-molded plastic fins, nose cone, and engine mount. A recommended Estes engine can launch the rocket up to 400 feet, ejecting an 18-inch streamer at apogee. This beginner-level kit is easy to assemble and perfect for small field flights and demonstrations. With the Estes Star Hopper Rocket, you can fly your own version of this cryptic craft!

  • SKILL LEVEL: Beginner
  • RECOMMENDED ENGINES: 1/2A3-2T, A3-4T, A10-3T
  • PROJECTED ALTITUDE: 400 ft. (122 m)

..I contacted Geyer via email. I had an email back within minutes!.. A back and forth via email sometimes takes days with other companies and customer service doesn’t happen like this very often. When it does, it’s much appreciated. Brett at Geyer was very polite and accommodating!

John C.

The customer service rep went as far as to reach out to the manufacturer of a product to answer my question, and then provided pictures. She really went above and beyond and answered the question thoroughly and gave me exactly the information I was looking for. This entire process was also extremely fast.

I called to ask how to submit a Tax Exempt Certificate for my library and spoke to a real person, no automation or asking me to press a number. He was friendly, helpful and got our Tax Exempt status established immediately.

...I don't think I've ever experienced that level of customer service before, and taking it into consideration along with the quality of their products, I would absolutely recommend Geyer to fellow teachers.
