| Information For The Astro-1 |
| The Astro-1 was initially released in the 1969 Centuri catalog. It was one of the first model rocket kits to incorporate the “quick change” engine mount that became a standard in model rocketry. Designed to be an excellent beginners kit, the Astro-1 became the first rocket for thousands of new model racketeers. The “rake back” fins were so different that many were built incorrectly with the fins glued on to resemble the Estes Alpha. The Astro-1 was Centuri #KB-17. |
