Generally one launches model rockets during the day, because finding a rocket at night would be tricky.
Solution: put LEDs on it and light it up like a disco ball.
Most people roll their own night launch rockets but one company does make kits... The kits are horrific though, with missing parts, broken parts, terrible instructions, instructions that are flat out wrong, etc. My dad had one so he "let" me build it.
15 yellow LEDs in three sets of five that light up in a chase pattern down the sides of the rocket.
Three flashy yellow and blue LEDs, one pair at the base of each fin (the white tabs are there so they don't light up.
Three AAAA batteries (thats quadruple A) handle the 15 LEDs in the body while a pair of watch batteries sit in each tube above the fin lights.
The decals were just lying around, but since they were shiny and reflective, I added them too. The next night launch is in March.
