NASA Spacecraft Technical diagrams


Recommended Posts

And bookmarked!

I am going to be starting on a 1/96 Saturn and it will be a perfect help

(courtesy of a wonderful gift from a fellow ARC'er!)

I'm glad this link has proved useful. The NASA site is a maze and you never know what you'll run into while you are searching it.

I found that sight some time ago. here is a drawing from that sight. I challenge anyone to make sense of the dimensions on this diagram from this official NASA website. It must have been a PhD that wrote down those dimensions. They can do Calc and DifEq but they can't add. :rolleyes:

That is the sum up of the term "Rocket science"

Lol.

Not possible for normal humans to figure out.

Yes I know, I scanned it and posted the scan. My point is, just because you get it off the NASA site, it is not necessarily fact.

As a spaceflight historian and 30+ year member of the NASA "team" I can fully back Otto's assertions. Currently supporting the ridiculously inefficient DOD (in this case the USAF) I am reminded daily how comparatively efficient the NASA

is and I usually have linked that with other aspects that I was proud to brag about. But after about 5 years of referencing materials (for modeling and other requirements) I have to conclude the NASA has handed over the public site reigns to nitwits. The erroneous info just keeps increasing convincing me that the agency that has had the cap on expertise, is now accessing the nimrod American media as their primary source. It's sad and stupid at the same time. I had thought the horrible image scans coming out of JSC was going to be the only crap on the NASA public websites, but apparently that's no longer the case. But I hold out hope for improvement. After all, the bozo Lori Garver left the agency....

Keep up the great real space modeling all.

Here is a great page I found with a lot of highly detailed and labelled Space Shuttle PDF diagrams with many different external and internal views of the space shuttles. These diagrams look great to help detail a space shuttle model for accuracy. Here is the link to the page with all the links to these diagrams.

You guys may want to look at this! Lots of images, some rare and never before seen. Several different programs, including Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Skylab and Shuttle. All of the smooth technical PDF's of the shuttle systems and MORE that I did not know existed! Dig around, you may find something useful for your projects!

Note this collection is missing sheet 2-2b.pdf "Exterior finish/external insulation - OV102, Columbia - TBS"

Buried in this site are the same drawings at http://files.seds.org/pub/images/shuttle/sts-pdf/

You can get sheet 2-2b.pdf here but this site is missing sheet 2-5a.pdf "Moldline penetrations/access panels" which is included in the first link by Astro-AL. By visiting both sites you can download a full set.

Hello guys,

does anyone have technical drawings of the Rainbirds of the MLPs? For the dimensions of the two different types I have found different data. undecided.gif

x9te2T.jpg

Source: NASA

In NASA Facts online (SSWS) is written, that the rainbirds are 12' (3,7 m) high. The two in the center are 42'' (107 cm) in diameter, the other four have a 30'' (76 cm) diameter.

But in the MLP Report I have found, that all of the spray pipes have a height of 10'-6'' (3,2 m), which includes the 6' (1,83 m) diameter slanted hood at the top.

The two center pipes have a 4' (1,22 m) diameter. The other four pipes are smaller, with a diameter of only 2'-6'' (76 cm).

What information is correct now? shocked.gif

NASA drawings would be very helpful. cool.gif

I have some original NASA documents on the Apollo Lunar Rover available for auction  see http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?/topic/314317-apollo-lunar-rover-nasa-documents/

 

This includes plans/drawings, photographs, letters and marketing material.
