Semroc - SLS Arcas

Home > SLS Arcas

The Semroc SLS Arcas™ is a 1/2 scale model of the famous small sounding rocket produced in the 1950’s and 1960’s by Atlantic Research Corporation. There were over 14,000 Arcas rockets produced and they flew from over 55 launch sites around the world. The primary purpose was to extend the rocketsonde data collection capability to over 200,000 feet, but their payloads were as diverse as cameras, biological, chemical, and inflatable shapes.

This model has a precision shaped scale nose cone of the original No. 5A, heavy-duty thick walled body tube, laser-cut basswood fins, ejection baffle, long tough elastic cord, large Ripstop Nylon chute, and 24mm and 29mm engine mounts. It is capable of flying the full range of D impulse engines through H impulse engines, making it a great choice for Level 1 Certification for High Power.
