The Star Weaver™ gives advanced students and experienced youth rocketeers a challenging build with exciting single stage and two stage flight options. Designed for 13 mm mini engines, this advanced model rocket helps educators and program leaders introduce deeper STEM concepts like staging, thrust, altitude, stability, engine selection, and recovery.

With laser cut balsa fins, a distinctive dual fin design, streamer recovery, and projected altitudes up to 900 ft., the Star Weaver is a strong fit for advanced rocketry clubs, enrichment programs, camps, and youth organizations ready to move beyond beginner level builds.

In The Classroom

An Advanced Rocket for Deeper STEM Learning

The Star Weaver™ is built for learners who are ready to take the next step in model rocketry. As an advanced skill level kit, it gives students a more involved building experience while creating a natural connection to real aerospace concepts like staging, thrust, drag, stability, and recovery.

For educators, camp leaders, and youth organization instructors, the Star Weaver offers more than an exciting launch. It gives students a hands on opportunity to follow detailed instructions, make careful measurements, align components accurately, and see how their build choices affect performance on launch day.

Single Stage and Two Stage Flight Options

One of the most valuable learning features of the Star Weaver is its flexible flight configuration. Students can launch the upper stage as a single stage rocket using recommended 1/2A3-4T, A3-4T, or A3-6T engines, or configure the rocket for two stage flight with an A10-0T booster stage.

This makes it easy to turn launch day into a comparison activity. Students can observe the difference between single stage and two stage performance, discuss how staging affects altitude, and better understand why engine selection matters in model rocket design.

Built for Precision, Patience, and Skill Development

The Star Weaver is a rewarding project for advanced students because it asks them to build with care. Laser cut balsa wood fins support accurate assembly, while the rocket’s two different fin shapes encourage discussion around aerodynamics, visual design, and flight stability.

This is the kind of build that helps students slow down and think like engineers. From fin alignment to recovery prep, each step reinforces sequencing, problem solving, craftsmanship, and attention to detail.

High Altitude Performance with Streamer Recovery

With projected altitudes up to 900 ft., the Star Weaver delivers the kind of performance that makes advanced rocketry exciting for students and leaders alike. Its lightweight 1 oz. design, 0.74 in. diameter, and 17.25 in. length help create fast, memorable flights that are easy to connect back to classroom and field based STEM lessons.

The streamer recovery system helps students track the rocket after apogee and supports efficient recovery for repeat flights. For advanced STEM programs, rocketry clubs, camps, and youth groups, the Star Weaver brings together skill building, flight analysis, and the excitement of launch in one standout model rocket.
