Space Corps DARC-1 Model Rocket Kit (EST7307)

Space Corps DARC-1 Expert Rocket Kit is a high-detail flying model that recreates the Deep Atmosphere Research Craft, a multi-section, crewed vessel designed to explore the thick atmospheres of gas giants like Jupiter. With a lifting-body design to stabilize flight in dense, turbulent air, the DARC-1 is built for atmospheric testing and exploration in model form. At mission end, the craft ignites and discards its aft booster to break atmosphere and chart a return trajectory home.

As an Estes Industries flying model rocket, the DARC-1 is described as the most challenging build in the Space Corps lineup, making it ideal for experienced hobbyists who want a rigorous project that hones building skills while delivering a dramatic, space-themed display.
