For the first time since 1972, astronauts are heading back on a path toward the Moon. The Artemis II mission will send a crew around lunar orbit aboard NASA’s Space Launch System and Orion spacecraft, proving modern human capability in deep space and paving the way for future lunar exploration.
The Artemis II Countdown Bundle lets you celebrate that milestone in your own launch field. Each flight becomes your tribute to Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen as they circle the Moon and move humanity forward into a new era of exploration.
The Iconic NASA SLS in 1:200 Scale
At the heart of this bundle is the Estes 1:200 scale NASA SLS model rocket, a detailed replica of the Block 1 configuration that is powering the Artemis program. Standing 19.4 inches tall and finished with realistic markings, this pre assembled and pre finished rocket looks incredible on the pad and on display between launches.
Powered by a recommended C5-3 or C6-3 engine, the NASA SLS model rocket can reach projected altitudes up to 350 feet before deploying its vibrant 15 inch parachute for a smooth return. Transparent fins double as a display stand, making it just as impressive on your shelf as it is in the sky.
Everything You Need for a Complete Launch
The Artemis II Countdown Bundle is designed to give you a true launch day experience with everything needed to fly your NASA SLS model rocket. The included Porta-Pad® II Launch Pad and Electron Beam® Launch Controller provide a stable, dependable platform for liftoff. Just add batteries and you are ready to begin your countdown.
You will also receive a pack of C6-3 engines, complete with starters and plugs, delivering dependable high thrust launches with a 3 second delay that is ideal for the NASA SLS. Recovery wadding is included as well, helping protect your parachute from hot ejection gases and ensuring reliable, repeatable flights.
Relive the Countdown Again and Again
There is nothing quite like hearing the final seconds tick away, pressing the launch button, and watching your rocket leap from the pad. With three C6-3 engines in the bundle and enough recovery wadding for multiple flights, you can recreate the excitement of Artemis II more than once.
Whether you are a longtime rocketeer or stepping into the hobby for the first time, the Artemis II Countdown Bundle delivers power, authenticity, and inspiration in one unforgettable package. Take your place in the story of lunar exploration and launch your own mission toward the Moon.
