Summary

This is a retail package of two Uni-Jet G-6 unflown model rocket motors. The "G-6" signifies that the power of the motors is in the highest class (out of seven) established by the National Association of Rocketry. The motors are made of pasteboard and contain non-explosive propellant. A motor is used only once to power a model rocket.

G. Harry Stine, a pioneer in the field of flying model rockets, donated this artifact to NASM in 1973.
