What You Need to Fly

In The Classroom

The Cosmic Cargo® Bulk Pack gives educators an interactive way to bring science and engineering concepts to life. Designed for group settings, each kit allows students to assemble their own rockets while learning about thrust, stability, and recovery systems. It’s an ideal project for introducing fundamental principles of aerospace engineering through practical application and discovery.

Customizable and Creative

Each Cosmic Cargo® rocket features a blank body tube that lets students express creativity with their own paint, decals, or markers. This design freedom encourages ownership and engagement, allowing every student’s rocket to reflect their personality while reinforcing fine motor and design skills.

Explore Payload Experimentation

What sets the Cosmic Cargo® apart is its built-in payload section. This clear compartment is perfect for experiments involving small instruments like altimeters, sensors, or other lightweight objects. Students can test hypotheses about mass, drag, or altitude, then analyze flight data to draw conclusions about performance and physics in motion.

Perfect for the Classroom

With straightforward construction and consistent flight performance, the Cosmic Cargo® is perfect for teachers and group leaders who want to provide a rewarding rocketry experience. Whether used in a science fair, summer camp, or classroom STEM project, it blends excitement and education into every launch.

Educational Value

By combining creativity with scientific inquiry, the Cosmic Cargo® Bulk Pack supports NGSS-aligned learning objectives. Students not only build a rocket but also develop problem-solving, teamwork, and analytical skills that extend beyond the classroom. It’s an inspiring way to ignite curiosity and a love for space exploration.

Great Rocket!

My after school clubs loved designing and building these rockets. I used this with Kindergarten through 8th grade and all were able to successfully complete the project (in different time frames of course!) My only gripe is the shock cord mounting system. I had a hard time, as an adult, fastening the 2 small plastic pieces together, even with the help of some long tools. The kids ended up just gluing the elastic band to the side of the rocket.

Fast and easy payloader

This kit goes together in less than 30 minutes and allows rocketeers to launch small payloads.

Higher than you think.!

My classroom absolutely loved building and launching the Cosmic Cargo Rockets. We used multiple devices for measuring the height of the rocket. With a C6-5 we obtained altitudes of 1,000-1,400 feet. Much higher than we could have hoped for or expected. We used 2 -18 streamers for our recovery system. With modest wind at 5-8 mph, the rockets landed approximately 300-600 feet from our launch site. Hope this was helpful.
