Description

Aerobee 150 sounding rocket fin can with accompanying 35.5˝ diameter glass beveled glass top for use as a table. The Aerojet General Aerobee was the first purpose-designed American high altitude sounding rocket. The Aerobee 150 was for many years the standard American upper atmosphere research vehicle employed between 1947 and 1985. Over 1,000 vehicles were launched with a lift capacity of 40-300 pounds to altitudes of up to 300 miles. Lifts included instrumentation and a program of flying biological test subjects. Aerobees were the first rockets to launch mice and monkeys into space.

This piece will be packaged and shipped from California; the buyer is responsible for all associated costs.
