DESCRIPTION

Project Centurion started six years ago in response to the
mysterious Asteroid Belt discovery now designated XAB-1.
According to recently declassified communiques, in 2055 a convoy
of Space Corps Corvette Class rockets detected an anomalous
energy source near Asteroid Vesta. The patrol had stumbled upon
what can only be described as an alien spacecraft engaged in
clandestine observations of Earth.

Before it could be determined if the strange vessel was friend or

foe, it disappeared in a brilliant flash of blue light leaving
nothing behind. Where did the alien ship come from and what was
its mission? More importantly, will it return, and will it bring
with it an invading army? Or will we be greeted by new alien
allies from a distant world?

With no choice but to prepare for the worst, Space Corps
commissioned Project Centurion to meet the defense needs of Earth

and the Solar Colonies. This crash program engaged the best
scientific and engineering minds from throughout the Solar
System. Their charge: design and build an adaptive space defense
system to counter an unknown but potentially powerful adversary.
No expense or effort was spared. The result, the Space Corps
Centurion agile interceptor and space fighter, is now operational

and ready to protect Earth and the human settlements.

The Estes Space Corp Centurion model rocket is an
almost-ready-to-fly scale version of this future, historic space
fighter. Simply install the included 9 inch parachute and shock
cord and your assembly is complete! The Space Corp Centurion
launches upright using a standard Estes launch pad and launch
controller (not included) and returns to Earth under its own
parachute. This versatile model can fly on a wide range of Estes
A through C engines which means you can select the right engine
for your field and wind conditions. Maximum altitude is 700-feet
on a C6-5 engine – not quite high enough to make orbit, but
plenty of altitude to impress your launch day spectators! Launch
your own Estes Space Corp Centurion today and do your part to
safeguard humanity!

WHAT YOU NEED TO LAUNCH (sold separately): Estes Porta-Pad II
Launch Pad and Electron Beam Launch Controller, Estes model
rocket engines, starters and recovery wadding. Four 1.5V high
