Gemini Titan Rocket Kit - Estes

The Estes Gemini Titan represents the program that transformed American spaceflight from experimentation into execution. It was here that astronauts learned how to live and work in space, perform spacewalks, and master orbital rendezvous. These were not just milestones, they were the capabilities that made the Moon landing possible.

Powered by a cluster of two C or D9 engines, this Gemini Titan 1:48 scale flying model delivers a launch that commands attention. Twin plumes rise in unison as the rocket lifts with purpose, creating a flight profile that is as visually striking as it is historically grounded. From the launch pad to the included display stand, this is a model built to carry the weight of its legacy and the excitement of every launch.

Build the Mission That Inspires You

The Gemini Titan was not defined by a single launch, but by a series of missions that each pushed the boundaries of what was possible in space. To honor that legacy, this model includes LV serial number decals for all 12 Gemini flights, giving you the freedom to choose which mission you want to represent.

Precision Scale, Built to Fly

At 1:48 scale, the Gemini Titan is crafted to deliver both visual accuracy and real flight performance. The included display stand allows the model to be showcased as a true centerpiece, highlighting its proportions and presence when not in flight.

Equipped with a two-engine cluster of C or D9 engines, the Gemini Titan delivers a launch experience unlike a single-motor rocket. As both engines ignite, the rocket rises with authority, leaving behind a distinct twin smoke trail that captures attention from liftoff to recovery.

Motor cluster

Igniting a cluster of motors requires a good ignition system. You can use Klima igniters wired in series and a regular launch controller such as the Estes Electron Beam or the Klima controller, or you can use the Klima Tapematch/Stage Igniters system with only one igniter (see the respective instructions on product pages).
