    Overview

    Two Stages, Endless Discoveries

    The Cosmic Cascade brings the thrill of two-stage rocket launches to students, offering a hands-on opportunity to explore advanced concepts in physics and aerodynamics. Launch the first stage alone to see how it performs, then add the second stage for even more impressive heights. This modular approach allows students to observe and compare the mechanics and effects of multi-stage flight.

    Quick and Easy Assembly

    Say goodbye to complicated builds! The Cosmic Cascade features snap-in fins and minimal gluing, making it simple and quick to assemble. Designed for busy classrooms and clubs, this rocket ensures more time is spent launching and learning, rather than assembling. Students can focus on experimenting and exploring, while educators can enjoy a stress-free setup process.

    Creative and Customizable Design

    Encourage student creativity with the Cosmic Cascade’s blank body tube. Students can decorate and personalize their rockets with their own designs, making each one a unique masterpiece. Whether it’s a fun artistic activity or a chance to explore branding and identity, this feature adds a personal touch to the learning experience.

    Data Collection Made Easy

    The Cosmic Cascade’s payload section is perfect for real-world experimentation. Easily add an altimeter to collect flight data or test the effects of added mass on altitude. By integrating tools for data collection, this rocket helps students develop analytical skills while exploring scientific principles.

    Endless Experimentation Opportunities

    From comparing single-stage and two-stage launches to experimenting with payload weight, the Cosmic Cascade offers a variety of experiments that reinforce STEM concepts. Its flexible design allows for repeated use and continuous learning, making it an invaluable resource for classrooms, clubs, and STEM enthusiasts.

    Built for Education

    Estes Education designed the Cosmic Cascade with educators in mind. Its durable materials and reliable recovery system ensure consistent performance, even after multiple launches. This rocket is more than a learning tool—it’s a gateway to inspiring the next generation of scientists, engineers, and innovators.

    The Cosmic Cascade is the ultimate blend of creativity, experimentation, and hands-on learning. With its two-stage design, customizable features, and focus on STEM education, this rocket empowers students to explore the science behind rocketry in an engaging and unforgettable way. Bring the Cosmic Cascade to your classroom or program and watch your students reach new heights!

    I liked the Cosmic Cascade so much as a 2 stage that I made it a 3 Stage.

    Incredibly easy to build. But I recommend this for all skill levels. Easy pop and go staging that works great. I bought a second kit and made a 3 stage version. I was surprised that it string spin tested stable configured for flight without modification. The CG was just below the leading edge of the top stage fin. I used a A8-0,A8-0,A8-5 engine combination. It did not need any added weight in the payload bay. Although in actual flight I put an Estes altimeter in there. I do not plan to use any heavier engines as I do not like to lose rockets. Also I would not use any heavier engines without doing a string stability test. It flew wonderfully strait. The wind was calm and I would not fly it with wind as a 3 stager due of concern for multistage weathercocking. I put a small piece of tape as a shim to provide a very small amount of friction at the staging coupler as suggested in the instructions. I put an emptied out used D engine casing over the launch rod for the rocket to set on for liftoff. This is a great rocket as a 1,2 or 3 stager.

    Very nice rocket easy to build and a very good first two stage. Pretty cool idea to have the builder choose the livery.

    Great Multi-Stage Rocket

    I love multi-stage rockets, and when Estes released this I just had to have one! This rocket looks sharp and may be the perfect first time multi-stage rocket for you! Construction was very simple. I love how the shock cord and launch lug come pre installed. I was surprised there is no decals with the kit, but that was my fault from not paying close attention to the description. Not that big of a deal, I can easily come up with my own decorations!
