This model rocket kit offers a construction or collecting project for your model rocketry hobby.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct features and specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Challenges of Space Flight\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn space flight, the first 100 miles are the toughest. It takes an enormous amount of energy to climb out of Earth's gravity and accelerate to orbital speeds. But it's at low earth orbit, or LEO, where most satellites operate, including the Leo Space Train, a proposed system for transporting people and cargo around the Earth using a train-like network of spacecraft traveling in a low Earth orbit.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eIntroducing the LEO Space Train\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe LEO Space Train would provide a more efficient and cost-effective means of transportation compared to traditional rocket launches, making space travel more accessible and sustainable in the long run.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEnter the LEO Space Train, an innovative, reusable winged space plane now under development by the U.S. aerospace industry. Its design enables it to travel to the edge of space where it releases a piggy-back mounted, second-stage booster.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAfter release, the booster ignites and places the satellite payload into LEO. The LEO Space Train can be launched, recovered, and prepped for a new orbital delivery mission all in the same day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eYou will enjoy bringing to life the eye-catching features that fill this impressive model rocket. The Estes LEO Space Train kit includes precision-cut balsa fin and wing panels with laser-etched details. The non-functional booster attaches to the upper surface of the main body-tube on miniature launch rails and looks like it could separate and lift away at any moment!\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003ch3\u003eThe Design and Functionality of the LEO Space Train\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eAuthentic-looking plastic engine nozzles adorn the tail ends of both the powered host rocket and the non-powered booster. A sheet of different colors water slide decals with the custom LEO Space Train “lion” graphic and logo add that last touch of realism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile the real-life counterpart to the LEO Space Train glides home to a wheels-down landing, the finished Estes kit launches and lands as a traditional model rocket.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis scale-like model can reach up to 300 feet (91 meters) on a single-stage C6-3 engine before returning gently to Earth under its own 18-inch parachute. The highly detailed LEO Space Train look great on the pad and on display. You’ll definitely want this one in your fleet!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlan the complete rocketry project\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eReview the build requirements and supplied contents before starting. Check the instructions for the exact recommended engine, compatible launch equipment and any recovery supplies needed. A kit, launch set and starter set can contain different equipment; only items specifically listed are included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublished altitude figures are estimates under the stated conditions, not guaranteed flight results. Follow the supplied instructions and appropriate model rocketry safety guidance when preparing and flying the completed model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eExplore Estes at MegaHobby\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/estes\"\u003eEstes rockets and supplies\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/estes-rocket-kits\"\u003eEstes Model Rocket Kits\u003c\/a\u003e.
