The Mini Mod™ Launch Set is a classroom-friendly option designed for educators who already have Estes engines and recovery supplies in their inventory. This set includes the customizable Mini Mod™ rocket, a Porta-Pad II® launch pad, and an Electron Beam® launch controller—giving you all the durable, reusable components needed to support your STEM curriculum.
Engaging Build Process for Students
The Mini Mod™ features snap-fit, color-coded parts that make it easy for students to build with minimal supervision—no cutting or sanding required. Its modular design includes two fin options and optional body tube extensions, enabling six different build configurations and encouraging creativity and critical thinking during the construction process.
Reliable Launch Equipment Included
The included Porta-Pad II® and Electron Beam® launch controller are trusted, classroom-proven tools designed for repeat use across multiple launches and student groups. Just pair the set with compatible mini engines (like the A3-4T or A10-3T), plugs, starters, and wadding (sold separately), and you’re ready to bring rocketry to life.
Real-World STEM Applications
Capable of flying up to 600 feet and recovered via a bright streamer, the Mini Mod™ offers a powerful visual demonstration of principles like thrust, drag, and aerodynamics. It’s an excellent tool for integrating NGSS-aligned concepts into lessons in physics, engineering design, and the scientific method.
