Galactic Getaway, founded by Saanvi Phaneendra, brings museum-quality 1:144 scale rocket models to public libraries across the San Francisco Bay Area for free. Our collection features the next generation of rockets from the United States, Europe, China, and Russia, so visitors can see how Starship, SLS, Falcon Heavy, New Glenn, and other launch vehicles compare side by side. Every model below is part of our traveling rocket exhibit, and you can find it on display right now at the Fremont Main Library.

Rocket Lab · United States
Neutron
A reusable medium-lift rocket powered by Archimedes engines. Its unique design keeps the payload fairing attached to the booster so the whole first stage can return.
China (CASC) · China
Long March 9
China's super heavy-lift rocket in development for deep space missions, including future crewed trips to the Moon and missions to Mars.
ArianeGroup / ESA · Europe
Ariane 6
Europe's newest heavy launcher, built for the European Space Agency. It made its first flight in 2024 and gives Europe independent access to space.
Roscosmos · Russia
Angara A5V
An upgraded heavy-lift member of Russia's Angara rocket family, designed to carry heavier payloads, including hardware for future lunar missions.
Roscosmos · Russia
Yenisei
A proposed Russian super heavy-lift rocket meant to support future crewed missions to the Moon.
See the Rocket Exhibit in Person
Our rocket models have been displayed at libraries and community events across the Bay Area, including Fremont Main Library, Almaden Branch Library in San Jose, San Lorenzo Library, Milpitas Library, Cupertino Library, Dublin Library, and Stanford KIPAC Community Day. Each exhibit pairs the models with a poster that explains engines, fuel types, payload, and missions, so kids and families can learn as they explore.
