- Summary
- This is the first prototype of the Super Star flying rocket model made by Model Products in early 1971. The model has a pasteboard body, balsa fins, and a plastic streamer. A solid propellant rocket motor propels the model, and then at the end of the vertical flight it forces the release of the streamer. The model is then retrieved and can be used again. G. Harry Stine, an American pioneer in the field of flying rocket and missile models, donated it to the Museum.
