Constructed by Estes Industries, it was launched of a towering 900 feet in the air. The burning of the fuse caused an ignition of the parachute leaving it crumbling to dust. Luckily no astronauts were on this test flight. The Rocket landed in a safe tree near the launch site with barely a scratch on it.

The Saturn I is currently being refurbished and being prepared for a second launch.
