How often can you launch it? Do you have to buy anything separately to let it fly again?** A: Hello. Unfortunately I have not had an opportunity to fly it yet so I can't testify as to how well it flies. However, based on many years of experience with Estes rockets I have no doubt that it will be an excellent flyer. It can be launched as often as you wish provided you are relatively careful with prepping, flying, and recovery, especially with the plastic "flight fins." The limiting factor will be the wear and tear on the shock cord and parachute (both of which can be replaced relatively easily) and the engine mounts, which are replaceable but with a lot of work. If you plan to fly it very often I suggest making a template of the plastic "flight fins" in case they need to be repaired/replaced. The only separate items needed to fly again are new engines, igniters, and wadding - just as with all Estes rockets. I hope this helps and that you get many enjoyable flights. One suggestion - connect the parachute shroud lines to the shock cord via a small fishing swivel. This will keep the lines from twisting during descent and help the parachute stay open. Just make sure that the shock cord and shroud lines are secure before each flight. Keep 'em flying! **Q: What size solid engine does nasa sls take?** A: According to the manufacturer's instructions the C5-3 or C6-3 engines are required. Thanks for asking. **Q: Ok i've bought the sls rocket for a grandson. what else do i need? where do i find the list - is it engines, launch controller, igniter, wire, batt** A: I did enjoy 😊 Artemis NASA Space Launch System Rocket 🚀 Model **Q: electronic beam launch controller , where is it listed?, same as wired launch controller?** A: It's a basic wired controller, "The Launch Controller comes fully assembled with 17 ft (5.2 m) of cable and requires 4 new 1.5V ‘AA’ alkaline batteries – sold separately. A GREAT Controller for launching all mini, standard (A-C) and D powered rockets". ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Artemis *by G***D on January 31, 2026* I bought this more so as a classroom display for discussion with young students about the Artimes program. It's perfect. I do plan to fly it this spring when the weather breaks, hopefully as another educational event. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely model *by M***E on August 28, 2025* Great looking model so much so I’m not going to risk launching-just for the display cabinet ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sometimes old tech is better. *by B***Y on March 13, 2025* Whole family enjoyed firing this off. Wife and kids had never experienced it. It’s been replaced by more modern toys but this old school analog, explosives-powered model rocket has a tangible element of healthy fear and excitement that can’t be replaced by its compressed air, water propulsion, or electric counterparts. My kids and wife’s surprised excitement was evidence of that. ## Frequently Bought Together - Estes 2206 NASA SLS Flying Model Rocket Kit | 1:200 Scale | Beginner Level - Estes 2274 Recovery Wadding - Estes - 2222 Launch Pad and Porta-Pad Controller II, Red --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.mx/products/383615420-2206-nasa-sls-scale-rocket-building-kit-beginner-flying-rocket](https://www.desertcart.mx/products/383615420-2206-nasa-sls-scale-rocket-building-kit-beginner-flying-rocket) --- *Product available on Desertcart Mexico* *Store origin: MX* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
