Model Starship

This is a design file for parts to create Estes-compatible rocket styled similar to a SpaceX 'Starship'. The fins are proportionally bigger to enable gliding without the use of a parachute as opposed to an actual re-entry and final parachute deployment. The basic goal is to get the starship to separate from the launch stage and land more gracefully than a ballistic missile or brick. The OpenSCAD file has a lot of parameters and options that can be hopefully leveraged to get a configuration that achieves the goal.

This design is currently EXPERIMENTAL - have fun!

There are two parts, a Top and a Bottom. The bottom optionally has a top fin. There are options for the fins and relative angles. The top and bottom parts slide/snap together firmly, and are NOT intended to separate during flight. The bottom section is then connected via a tube to a booster/first stage section (provided by other OpenSCAD and STL files at the links below). The starship can also be positioned on top of an
