History: Many of you will never have heard of Quasar One Custom Rockets. I’ve been a model rocket enthusiast for 50 years and in all that time I’ve seen less than a dozen Quasar One kits, some of which are offered for sale here.

Quasar One is a difficult company to research as many links lead to Quest, Estes and LOC rocket kits called ‘Quasar’, but here’s what we know:

Quasar One Custom Rockets was a small rocketry company started out by Mike Sunseri in Elk Grove, California in the early 2000s. By 2009 they were being sold through Apogee Rockets, one of the biggest retail rocketry names around. Quasar One produced 16 kits of original design as well as selling kits from Estes and Custom Rocket Company.

Around 2010 Mike sold the inventory and rights to Chet and Terrie of RC Country Hobbies in Sacramento who produced the kits for a few years.
