• For over forty years Estes Industries has been the world's leader in the manufacturing of safe, reliable and high quality rocket products. We are continuing this tradition with new and innovative educational products.
• The need to provide an easy-to-use and exciting teaching aid for science awareness and education was the thrust behind Vern Estes' development of Estes Industries back in 1958. We are dedicated to this premise and always will be!
• Since then, over 300 million safe, successful launches have occurred in a wide range of educational and recreational settings.

From its inception, four qualities have made Estes rocketry a safe and easy-to-use learning medium for instructors in all learning environments. These qualities are:

• Precisely manufactured, expendable solid propellant engines that are of proven design, tested safe and conform to strict performance parameters, and they are easy to use!
• Safety oriented rocket construction materials like balsa wood, paper and plastic. Estes rockets are designed to absorb the energy of any impact by crushing.
• Absolute control of the launch sequence through the use of specially designed electrical launch controllers, stable launch pads and electrical igniters.
• Reliable recovery mechanisms to return the rocket safely to the ground for subsequent flights.

To ignite your students' imagination by providing the materials you need to safely and successfully promote hands-on explorative learning. You'll find materials such as our ready-to-use curriculum packages, which make learning and teaching Estes rocketry easier than ever! Also, our convenient bulk packs solve your financial and logistical concerns.
