Overview

The Estes Mongoose is the perfect first-time building and flying experience for newcomers who want to try their hand at flying a two-stage rocket.

A two stage rocket has two sections of the rocket with the engines stacked or staged one on top of the other. The lower, or first stage, contains a booster engine that kicks the rocket off the launch pad. The upper, or second stage, has a standard engine inserted into it for extreme flight altitude.

Recovery is made easy with the included parachute. The action is always hot when flying a staged rocket! The Mongoose rocket is capable of flying as a single stage rocket. But for even more fun, add a booster engine and watch this beast soar to astonishing heights of over 1,800 feet.

Standing over 26 inches tall, this high-flying rocket will descend back to earth on a colorful 12 inch parachute.

Fun and Easy to Assemble

We've flown this rocket several times as both two stage and single stage. It flies well and is fairly visible when recovering! A fun and easy to assemble kit.

Great first multi-stage rocket.

It's quick and easy to put together, and goes super high. One of my favorites!

You can't fit two tubes that are the same size inside each other.
