Summary:
This is a wood and metal stand for launching a two-stage LTV Scout flying rocket model. The model is based on the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Scout rocket, which launched a wide range of small payloads from the 1960s into the 1980s. The model has a nylon parachute in the nose. As with all flying rocket models, once the motors stopped burning the parachute deployed and the model gently returned to Earth for reuse. Estes Industries made the model and Gregory Kennedy donated it to the museum in 1996.
