Estes has a similar rocket called the Orbital Transport, which I have always wanted. This one by Quest is a bit smaller, but keeps in the spirit of “shuttle” type models. I am hopeful one day to have a decent sized fleet of these types of models, namely getting the Orbital Transport by Estes and the Shuttle SST by Centuri.  Semroc rocketry is releasing a clone of the Shuttle SST...just have to convince Estes to reissue the Orbital Transport again!

The NASA-style shuttle craft disconnects from the booster rocket at peak altitude and glides back to earth for another exciting flight! The booster is safely recovered by parachute!
