1/4" Two-Piece Launch Rod

The 1/4 Inch Two-Piece Launch Rod is a dependable solution for educators leading advanced model rocket launches. Built from durable steel with a 1/4-inch diameter, it is well suited for larger rockets commonly used in upper elementary, middle school, high school, and youth organization STEM programs. It helps ensure rockets are properly guided as they accelerate from the launch pad.

Built for Structured Learning Environments

When teaching principles such as thrust, stability, and flight dynamics, consistent launch conditions matter. This launch rod provides reliable guidance that supports repeatable results during demonstrations and student launches. It’s a practical addition for programs progressing beyond entry-level rockets.

Compatible with Advanced Launch Systems

This rod is designed to be used with the 2238 Porta-Pad E Launch Pad and the 3552 Pro Series II Launch Pad, making it easy to integrate into existing school or camp equipment. Pairing the correct launch pad and rod ensures students are using properly matched components for safe operation.

Easy Transport and Storage

The two-piece design allows the rod to break down for convenient storage in classrooms, equipment closets, or transport bins. It assembles to approximately 5 feet in length, providing full guidance during liftoff while remaining manageable for instructors overseeing group launches.
