Custom build and decorate your own 19" rocket with the Explorer X-19 model rocket kit. SureFire Rockets has brought a new concept of educational rocket building to educators. The Explorer X-19 is the second in a line of rockets that gives the student control over both the look and design of his/her rocket. The Explorer does not include instructions or cut rocket fins. You print the instructions and the fin designs from this page. There are currently 4 different fin designs to choose from with more to come! By eliminating many of the high cost associated with producing rockets SureFire Rockets is able to bring you this educational bulk pack for significantly less than any other educational kit on the market. The Explorer X-19 rocket is a Skill Level 1 rocket (ages 8 and up) and flies on standard A-class, B-class, and C-class model rocket engines.

Manufacturer Comments
Teachers: Have your students build many different shape and size fins to show the dramatic effect aerodynamics have on determining the maximum altitude a rocket will fly.

Super-excellent for group projects, Cub Packs, Scout Troop, etc.
By scott March 8, 2013
I've used the Explorer X-19 (and its baby brother the X-13) multiple times now for teaching the Space Exploration Merit Badge. This is usually a one-day affair, where we build and fly as a group (along with some instruction) in about a 6-hour time span. Needless to say, stuff has to go together quickly, be fairly foolproof, and stay together when flying. I've yet to be disappointed by any of the Explorer kits -- they are sturdy, stable in flight, allow for multiple fin designs, and are very cost effective. I would recommend these any day for group use as well as individual flights, and will keep using them myself for Merit Badge clinics and other educational projects!
