The Astron Trident was released by Estes Industries in the 1968 catalog. It was designed by Gene Street when he was the Chief Illustrator at Estes. Featuring a new ducted ejection system, the Astron Trident became an icon for futuristic models that would follow.

The Semroc Retro-Repro™ Trident™ is very faithful to the original design, using nine precision balsa nose cones. The original did not have decals, but instructions were included to make some from cellophane tape, paint and India ink. A waterslide decal is provided to replicate the original design. To make the alignment easier, a laser-cut guide is provided to make it more fun to build. Pre-slotted tubes are also provided to eliminate the second biggest hassle in assembly.
