The Space X Falcon 9 is the world’s first human-rated, reusable launch vehicle. This scale model rocket can lift payloads to LEO and geosynchronous orbits, or even to Mars. There’s nothing else like it in the world! And now Estes and Space X have collaborated to create a highly accurate 1:100 scale flying model of the remarkable Falcon 9 rocket topped with a Dragon Crew spacecraft. Looks great on its custom display stand or soaring up to 300 feet on a recommended Estes engine.

 

  • Precision 1:100 scale reproduction
  • Detailed Dragon Crew Spacecraft
  • Accurate silkscreened markings
  • Custom Display Stand
  • Removable plastic fins for stable flight

Overview

SpaceX Falcon 9 Model Rocket has its own unique story. On May 30, 2020, astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken climbed aboard their Dragon Crew spacecraft. These people did something no one had ever done before : they rode a reusable commercial rocket to orbit. Thus, it marked the beginning of the Next Space Age.

 

Until that moment, human space flight had always been the purview of nations. Launching objects and humans into space to 'slip the surly bonds' required more resources and expertise. Neither an individual nor a corporation could afford it. Space flight was expensive. Space flight was difficult. Space flight was a rare commodity. But not anymore. Now, finally, human space flight was attainable with Falcon 9 model rocket.

 

Revolutionary Invention - SpaceX Falcon 9 Model Rocket

This extraordinary two-stage launch vehicle, designed and manufactured by Space X, is able to safely lift more than 50,000 lbs into orbit. Remarkably, after a successful launch, the first stage returns to Earth for an upright, powered landing and a precision touchdown, ready to launch another payload into orbit. There’s never been anything else like it!

 

 

Now, Space X has collaborated with Estes to create a 1:100 scale launchable reproduction of the Falcon 9 rocket with its Dragon Crew spacecraft payload.

And just like the actual Falcon 9 :

  • it can be re-launched over and over again
  • The fully assembled scale Falcon 9 is composed of molded plastic parts with silk-screened markings and comes ready to fly.
  • Show off your SpaceX Falcon 9 model rocket with the included custom display stand, or store in its specially designed collectable case.

 

 

Every launch of your Estes Falcon 9 rocket will be an event! Though it won’t reach orbit, you can expect launches up to 300 feet on a recommended Estes engine. Recovery is via 18-inch parachute – sorry, powered return to pad is not a model rocket recovery option at this time!

 

 

A fantastic model on display or in flight, this Estes and SpaceX Falcon 9 collaboration belongs in your collection today!

From the Designer

 

"The development of the Space X Falcon 9 model was the most challenging project I believe that I’ve undertaken. Also, one of the most fulfilling. I hope to do more models in conjunction with Space X in the future.
This is the most detailed Space X model on the market. The detail was taken from actual Space X files. As a consumer I believe you will not be disappointed in this model. Exceptional detail and a great flight profile. "

Ron McClaren, Designer

Estes For Life

Ever since I was introduced to Estes rockets back in 1989, I’ve been hooked. It was then I bought my first complete starter set.
Thank You Estes, for keeping in this wonderful hobby alive. We need to get more kids out playing, instead of just sitting on the couch looking at a phone.

Nice one but overpriced

Most of the cost might be for the package, which would probably worth more than the rocket itself. Suggests to reduce packaging to reduce price. Otherwise it’s a good rocket.
