ORION RD-400

 
   
   

The Orion is a Two Stage 54mm rocket system designed to carry small payloads to very high altitudes. This kit is optimally designed for very high stability flights, great for Camera Projects!

The Orion has been designed for long burn rocket motors.  Both stages have motor mounts long enough to accommodate full "K" to mid "L" rocket motors, making the Orion in a Class by itself.

Extra long streamers may be used for close proximity recovery from ultra high altitudes. Because of the high performance characteristics, the Orion is recommended for Experienced Rocketeers. The Orion is also compatible with all staging technologies.
