rotorwash Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Perhaps this NASA link has already been posted, but since I stumbled across it looking for something else, I figured I would share it in case it is new to anyone. Ray NASA technical drawings Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Emvar Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 (edited) I would think this would be great to be pinned. Edited May 9, 2010 by Emvar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richter111 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 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!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Otto Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

orionblamblam Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Here is a drawing that makes sense and it is NOT from a NASA website. It's a scan from Pete Alway's "Rockets of the World." It's available here: http://arapress.com/rotw.php Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Otto Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

spaceflightengineer Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 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. BP Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Astro-AL Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 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. http://web.archive.org/web/20020806164507/http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/shuttle/reference/sodb/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hotdog Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 http://files.seds.org/pub/images/ 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!

spaceman Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 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. 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? NASA drawings would be very helpful.

Peter Browne Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) 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.
