Summary

This is an unassembled Lambda flying rocket model built by Model Rocket Industries. The model has a pasteboard body, balsa nose and fins, and plastic streamers. A solid propellant rocket motor propels the model, and then at the end of the vertical flight it forces the release of the streamers. The model is then retrieved and can be used again. Not included in this kit are the motor, the launch controller that is used to ignite the motor, and the launch pad from which the model is launched. G. Harry Stine, an American pioneer in the field of flying rocket and missile models, donated it to the Museum.
