The flagship of the Quest model rocket line! The Quest Astra is one of the most widely used model rocket kits offered and features Quest's TTW "Through-The-Wall" balsa fin design. TTW fin attachment makes building so much easier. It really helps you glue the rocket fins on straight and in the correct position. The Astra includes color coded parts to make identification for assembly easier. It uses a Kevlar shock cord that is anchored right to the engine mount for reliable recovery. These features give you the benefit of a more successful building experience. Perfect for schools, youth groups, Civil Air Patrol, 4H, and Scouting Space Exploration Merit Badge requirements.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 4 reviews)

Ryan Q. ★★★★★

I was impressed by how solid the Thru-The-Wall fin attachment feels compared to other kits I've built. It took maybe an hour to assemble and the instructions were clear enough for a beginner.

Ryan ★★★★★

The balsa fins slide right into those through-the-wall slots, so the whole build feels solid instead of flimsy. I’ve launched it four times now and it pops off the pad straight every single time.

Lily Z. ★★★★★

Assembly was straightforward even for my first rocket build, and the through-the-wall fins felt rock solid when I test-fitted them. Launched it three times this weekend, the balsa fins took the impacts without a crack and it tracked straight every flight.
