Space Corps DARC-1 Expert Rocket Kit (EST7307)
The Space Corps DARC-1 Expert Rocket Kit offers an exciting hands-on experience for model rocket enthusiasts. This expertly crafted model emulates the Deep Atmosphere Research Craft, a unique vessel designed by the Space Corps Science Division to explore the gas giants of the outer solar system.
Multipurpose in design, the DARC-1 is engineered for atmospheric entry and maneuverability within thick gaseous environments, making it perfect for educational exploration. Its construction includes lifting body characteristics, ideal for handling turbulent atmospheric conditions while maintaining stability.
First operational in 2052, the DARC-1 successfully conducted surveys of the atmospheres of Jupiter, Saturn, and several large moons, providing valuable data before a tragic accident occurred over Titan. The DARC-1 flying model rocket is labeled as an expert build, representing the most challenging project in the Space Corps fleet. Ideal for those looking to test their building skills or gradually enhance their model-building expertise, this kit promises both a rewarding building experience and an engaging journey into aerodynamics.
