PRESS RELEASE
Semroc Astronautics Corporation: New product announcement
NARCON 2008
The Aerobee-Hi, Golden Scout, Centaur, and Arcon-Hi were announced at
NARCON 2008.
The Semroc Golden Scout was previously announced
here.
The Retro-Repro Aerobee-Hi is our NARCON 2008 Commemorative
kit. The first 100 customers at NARCON 2008 and online received a free Aerobee-Hi. The original Aerobee-Hi by
Model Missile, Inc. was produced 50 years ago on April 12, 1958. Semroc salutes the historic event and its impact on
our hobby.
Two new Retro-Repro two-stage kits have finally been released. They have
been on hold because of the uncertainty of smaller booster engines. Many have asked for these two of Centuri's most
loved multi-stage kits. The Centaur was first released in 1965 and sported the Centuri trademark double
swept fins and a roomy payload section. It can be flown as a single stage or two-stage rocket. The Centaur is
available online for $19.50 and at a growing number of hobby stores.
The Arcon-Hi was also first released in 1965. The upper stage was a
1:6 semi-scale model of the Atlantic Research Arcon sounding rocket. The booster was added for two-stage action, but
was not a scale model of any booster produced for the Arcon. The Arcon-Hi is available online for $18.50 and at a
growing number of hobby stores.
