Analyzing V-2 Scale Data

N-1 Moon Rocket

The N-1 rocket from the new manufacturer, Altaira Rocketry, is a 1/122 scale replica of the Soviet Union's moon rocket that competed against the American Saturn V. This model stands over 34 inches tall and flies on a cluster of six Estes D12's. This is a very difficult rocket to build, and we only recommend it to modelers with significant scratch-building experience 

Fin Shape Science Experiment Kit

The Fin Shape Science Experiment Kit allows you to find out through experimentation which shape performs the best. The rocket is designed to allow the fins to be quickly switched between flights so that the only variable being tested is the actual shape of the fins.

In this kit, there are four pre-cut fin shapes you can test, and another eleven patterns that you can choose from to make your own hand-cut fins. It also comes with a BT-55 size (33mm diameter) fin alignment jig so you can make sure all the fins are perfectly straight and uniform when attaching them to the rocket. The included display stand allows you to stand the rocket upright when you have it in your science experiment at school.

Fin Alignment Guides

Apogee has those inexpensive laser-cut cardboard fin alignment jigs that position and holds the fins while the glue dries. You get perfect alignment so your rocket flies straight as an arrow. This allows all the fins to be added at the same time in order to speed assembly. Now in five sizes: 13mm (BT-5), 18mm (BT-20), 24mm (BT-50), 33mm (BT-55), and41.6mm (BT-60). The complete set is available here.

Adrel Altimeter

This small data-logging altimeter was designed specifically for the modelers that compete in international rocketry competitions (FAI). It easily fits into a 10mm diameter tube and weighs a mere 1.8 grams of battery (battery not included). It records 9 minutes of flight data (at 15 samples per second) that can be analyzed after recovery. It is the official altimeter used in FAI (international) competitions.

CP/CG Stickers

This year, we'd like to present a unique "sticker collection" as your Christmas gift to you when your subtotal on your Apogee order is $35 or more. The stickers feature a collection of CG and CP symbols, as well as other decorative items that you can use to dress up your rockets. Printed on self-adhesive vinyl, these stickers are the highest quality you'll find in the rocketry industry.

(EXTENDED - LAST DAYS!!) This offer ends December 31. Just use the coupon code Holiday17 at checkout, and the cost of the sticker collection will automatically be deducted from the order total.
