Limited Edition NASA Water Rokit, with FREE Kit Bag
Water Rokit fuels and inspires science Education and fun.
Water Rokit was invented in 1983 with precision engineering that’s made to last. Manufactured in the UK, with spare parts available, it continually inspires young scientists. With launches of up to 100ft (the height of a 10 storey building) in the great outdoors, it is family fun (and education) you will always remember!

Choose an outdoor greenspace for your launch site, like a field, with at least 40 metres (140 feet) of space around you.
Assemble your Water Rokit kit and attach this to a used plastic carbonated drinks bottle (best to use 1 litre sized bottle).
Part fill the bottle with water (about ¼ full), and attach the Water Rokit to a cycle, stirrup or foot pump using the yellow launch tube (all pumps are universal).
Pump up the Water Rokit, for automatic release and WE HAVE LIFT OFF!
Water Rokit is re-usable and soars over 100 feet (that's the height of a 10 storey building!)
You will always remember the day you flew your first Water Rokit!

Frequently Asked Questions
Check out our FAQ Video, or read the FAQs below.
How high does Water Rokit fly?
In normal conditions, Water Rokit will fly to approximately 30 metres (100 feet) – about the height of a 10 storey building!
How does the Water Rokit launch itself?
The Water Rokit launches itself automatically. This happens when the pressure builds up enough to release the pressure tube, which is around 25psi.
What type and size of bottle is best?
You must use a carbonated drinks bottle. Water Rokit is not suitable for any other type of bottle. The Water Rokit fins have been designed to work best with 0.5, 1.0 litre or 1.5 litre carbonated drinks bottles.
Why is the cap now attached to my plastic bottle?
It is mandatory for all EU states to have phased out loose caps by July 2024 for plastic drinks bottles up to three litres. It’s part of an EU directive announced in 2018 that aims to reduce single-use plastic waste.
Loose caps have been banned as part of a larger plan to tackle plastic waste in Europe.
The bloc says that they are one of the most littered single-use plastic products on beaches.
At the moment large amounts are going unrecycled and ending up in our oceans. Researchers estimate that the production and incineration of plastic pumped more than 850 million tonnes of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere in 2019.
The new plastic caps are just one in a series of measures being pursued by the EU.
Packaging for fresh fruit and vegetables, mini hotel toiletries and fast food in restaurants will soon be banned under legislation agreed in March. Although it’s an uphill battle with major lobbying efforts against such moves and recent nerves around the European Green Deal.
The hope is that by having the cap attached people are less likely to throw them away as to do so you’d have to dump the whole bottle along with it.
EU member states are free to set their own design requirements as long as “the caps and lids remain attached to the containers during the products’ intended use stage.” So the design we’re currently seeing on drinks like Coke is not the only one possible, although it will be the most common given their market dominance. Other big drinks companies have already adopted Coca Cola’s design.
Why does the UK have new bottle caps after Brexit?
While it’s an EU policy to get rid of them, it has had knock on effects in other countries. Companies mass produce bottles and caps so it is complicated to make different styles for different countries. As a result major drinks companies are also rolling out the new caps in non-EU countries, like the UK, even though they are not legally obliged to.
What makes Water Rokit suitable for teaching science?
The Water Rokit releases automatically at a pre-determined pressure, which means it is suitable for carrying out the same experiments many times. It is also a visual teaching aid, enabling pupils to see and understand science – it’s a fun way to teach Laws of Motion / trajectories and angles / measuring height, and so on.
What is the most suitable age group for Water Rokit?
Any age group can enjoy the Water Rokit, but it is not a toy, so children will need adult supervision. There is no upper “age limit” for the Water Rokit, though beware – it may unleash the inner child in every adult that launches a Water Rokit!
Can I re-use my Water Rokit?
Yes. Looked after properly, your Water Rokit should provide many years of fun with countless take-offs. If the Water Rokit lands on a hard surface, e.g. concrete, then sometimes this may damage the carbonated drinks bottle, and you may need to replace it. Spares are available separately, like replacement pressure tubes, as well as the Water Rokit tail assembly parts if these get lost.
Can I launch my Water Rokit indoors?
No. The Water Rokit is for outdoor use only. Under normal conditions, it flies to around 30 metres, making it unsuitable and unsafe for indoor use.
Do I have to use water with Water Rokit?
No. Although the Water Rokit won’t fly very high without a propellant fuel such as water. Try it and see for yourself!
Can I use any fluid other than water?
No. Fresh or recycled water is the only fluid to use in your Water Rokit.
Is there a risk that the bottle might explode under pressure?
No. Under normal use, Water Rokit automatically launches at around 25psi. Carbonated drinks bottles are designed to withstand much greater pressure, many times this level.
What do I do if my rocket falls over whilst pumping, with the water still at pressure?
Pick up the bottle at arm’s length and slowly undo the white top, with care, as you would with a fizzy drinks bottle that has been shaken.
