DESCRIPTION

Once again, American engineers and astronauts are being put to
the test as they work towards answering the call to land humans
on Mars by 2033. And just as we did in 1958, Estes will once
again answer the call to bring the space race directly into the
hands and homes of budding astronauts and space enthusiasts from
around the globe.

Meet the first release in Estes’ newest series Destination Mars,
the Mars Ascent Vehicle (MAV)! This lightweight, fully decorated,
easy-to-assemble beginner rocket will delight kids and adults
alike as they follow NASA’s achievements as they work towards
reaching the next frontier. Imaginations may soar to Mars, but
this MAV stays in the earth’s atmosphere, reaching heights of 250
