This is the start of what could be a very long thread
Many of you followed my Saturn IB thread here https://www.rocketryforum.com/showthread.php?135578-Another-Saturn-IB While this is still not yet what I would consider complete, it is sitting in a storage locker in Canada while I'm currently in south east Asia awaiting a work visa for Australia. I'm suffering from serious rocket withdrawal! So it's time to plan my next build, the SA-5 Saturn I.
This will incorporate a lot of what I did for the IB in terms of designs and techniques, and hopefully lessons learned. This is just planning right now, with the build starting when I get to Oz. Maybe a flight for Thunda Down Unda? We'll see...
At this point, I'm just collecting reference data to start my build. I'll list what I have here and I hope some of you can point me in the direction of juicier stuff...
The best source (albeit minimal) I've found is https://meatballrocketry.com/saturn-i-data/ It has a link to download Peter Alway's drawing of the S-I. Unfortunately it contains enough information to show you a number of details without giving enough information to recreate them. Le sigh.
Some other links of varying usefulness are:
https://www.alternatewars.com/SpaceRace/Saturn/Saturn.htm
https://heroicrelics.org/space-race.html
https://www.apollosaturn.com/Website-II/Saturn-I/The-Saturn-I-
So what am I missing? It seems that other than pictures, there isn't a lot of info out there in the Saturn I. Please help!
