"In the mid 21st century, the Mars-Deimos-Phobos International Initiative was formed to pool resources and focus on the exploration of Mars and its satellites. Mars exploration craft like the Deimos were a small part of that exploration fleet."
With its multiple pod cones, simulated rocket nozzle, swept-back fins and realistic decals the Deimos is a beautiful model of a futuristic exploration craft. With laser-cut fins, lots of tubes and nose cones, and trademark Sirius Rocketry illustrated manual with tips, the Deimos is fun to build. And the Deimos is even more fun to fly! With its large size (almost three feet tall) the Deimos is a great demonstration rocket, featuring slow liftoffs and graceful flights. And when you wish to punch it higher, the Deimos is built rugged to accomodate a number of larger 24mm motors and reloads with its heavy-duty thick-wall body tubes and motor mount. The large 24" parachute will bring the Deimos gently down to earth again.
As usual the Sirius Rocketry Deimos contains LOTS of high-quality full-color waterslide decals to make the Deimos another beautiful Sirius Rocketry kit to build, display, and fly!
