Pathfinder Pack Launch Set - Beginner

There is no better way to begin your journey into model rocketry than with the Pathfinder™ Launch Set. This complete kit gives you the excitement of building and flying two incredible rockets, the sleek Celestial Explorer and the bold Prospector. Each one features colorful graphics, durable construction, and smooth parachute recovery that deliver high-flying fun again and again.

Ready for the Launch Pad

Pathfinder™ includes the trusted Porta-Pad® II Launch Pad and Electron Beam® Launch Controller, the same dependable setup used by generations of rocketeers. Once your rockets are assembled, simply add Estes engines, recovery wadding, and starters, all sold separately, and you will be ready to experience the countdown, the ignition, and the heart-pounding excitement of liftoff. It is easy to prepare, simple to fly, and guaranteed to thrill on launch day.

High Flights and Soft Landings

With stable flight performance and reliable parachute systems, both rockets in the Pathfinder™ set can soar up to 1000 feet on a C6-5 engine. Each launch is a stunning display of motion and altitude followed by a gentle parachute descent. Designed for repeated flights, these rockets make every launch an opportunity to build skill, confidence, and anticipation for the next countdown.

Inspire Curiosity and Imagination

The Pathfinder™ Launch Set is more than just a fun activity. It is a hands-on introduction to the science of flight, showcasing the forces of thrust, drag, and recovery in action. Building and launching your own rockets encourages problem-solving, creativity, and a lifelong fascination with space and engineering. Whether it is your first launch or your hundredth, Pathfinder™ captures the wonder of flight and brings it down to Earth for everyone to enjoy.
