Space Corps Lunar Scout

The Lunar Scout series of remote space probes was critical to the success of the lunar landing program of the late 2020s. These automated probes mapped out the moon's surface in detail to identify prospective landing sites for the series of lunar missions that came to be known as the "Second Giant Leap". Inexpensive to manufacture and
reliable to operate, the Lunar Scout was later adapted to explore Mars and its twin moons Phobos and Deimos.

The Estes Lunar Scout is a lightweight model of this future historic space probe. This highly detailed, intermediate-level kit features laser-cut cardstock fins and other structural parts with colorful water-slide decals for added realism. With flights up to 200 feet on an Estes mini A10-0T engine and with featherweight recovery, this rocket makes for a great small field launcher. No need to wait for NASA to create their Lunar Scout - build and fly yours today!
