You can do a quick search by typing rocketeer. A lot of information regarding the the jetpack and helmet are available in past threads.
The widely known jetpack is the acme which will run you about a 1,000 dollars. I have the contact information if you need it. There is a website called evan.org or .net that has a tutorial to complete the kit.
I know there is a rpf member here that is creating a completed pack which was offered in the junkyard a few weeks or a month ago but not sure how far along he is.
I own the acme pack, and I love it. I havent had the time to build it.
Also, you may want to read past threads on finheadcentral.yuku.com
It is a message board place for rocketeer fans.

haha, now that is a rocket pack.
SITH, the acme pack is also known as the MIM Pack. Acme is the actual maker, and MIM is the middle man or use to be..Not sure if they still are

I think the rpfers came up with the name the "MIM pack" because some will recognize it from their website, and unaware that Clint from ACME is the actual maker.
Also, it was more widely known that their company carried the pack..Just my guess.
When MIM stopped carrying the pack online I got a little worried - it's one of those props that is expensive enough that you keep on 'putting it off' and I was afraid that it was gone forever.
I was given Clint's contact info and called and talked to him a little - he is a VERY nice guy and very generous with his time on the phone and will be glad to answer any and all questions you have.
The Acme pack is the one and ONLY choice if you want this prop. It may be expensive - and a KIT to boot - but you gotta figure, who else is making this prop availabe and with a completely accurate design? The answer is no one but Acme.

I completely understand. I read past threads on this site, and I know there is one thread about the horror stories of MIM.
Most of the time when people ask for information regarding purchasing the ACME kits I just give them Clint's contact info.
