Estes launches ULA's Vulcan booster as new flying model rocket kit

United Launch Alliance's (ULA) Vulcan rocket is ready to fly again — and again — from your local large yard, empty lot or community park.

Estes Industries, the Colorado-based manufacturer of model rockets, engines and accessories, has partnered with ULA to produce a 1:100 scale model of the company's next-generation space launch vehicle, which is now being prepared for its third mission targeted for lift off this summer.
