Sputnik Model Rocket Parts
As show in the above photo, the following parts are needed for building a 13mm Sputnik model rocket:
- One 2 1/2" diameter styrofoam ball
- One 13mm motor tube
- One 13mm engine block or nose block (Use a balsa nose block if you plan to use engines with ejection charges.)
- One 1/8" diameter launch lug
- Four 7" long (or longer) dowels
For my Sputnik, I used wood glue for attaching the launch lug and gluing in the nose block. I
used 5 minute epoxy for everything else.
