Orville H. Carlisle (1917–1988) was a shoe salesman from Norfolk, Nebraska, who pioneered the hobby of model rocketry. In 1954, he created the Rock-A-Chute Mark I, followed by the improved Rock-A-Chute Mark II, which remains a model rocket today. Collaborating with G. Harry Stine, they founded Model Missiles, Inc., offering model rocket kits, addressing safety concerns for amateur rocketry. Carlisle's innovations led to a robust model rocketry community, and he was recognized as the first member of the National Association of Rocketry (NAR). His work is preserved in the National Air and Space Museum.
