Pegasus Rocket Poster

Description

Pegasus doesn’t use a launch pad. It’s carried up under a converted airliner, a Lockheed L-1011 called Stargazer, and dropped at about 12,000 metres; after five seconds of free fall its first stage lights, and the small wing on that stage helps turn the fall into a climb to orbit.

It was the first privately developed rocket to reach orbit, in 1990.

Available in 5″ x 7″, 8″ x 10″, 8″ x 12″, 11″ x 17″, 12″ x 16″, 12″ x 18″, 16″ x 20″, or 18″ x 24″, unframed and rolled in a sturdy tube, or framed in a black wooden frame, ready to hang.
