Scale data

[TheAviator]

Someone asked me how one could tell which rockets were in which ROTW Supplement or the book itself. I figured I'd post the Table of Contents here so that people who don't have the book can see what data there is.

As a BAR with a tanker past, I have been looking to build a scale shillelagh missile (anti-armor missile launched on M551s and M60A2s for those who are wondering). I have tracked down photos and even data stencil placement but no good photos of fin area. I know they were flat and folded out.

Any one have good information? I am going to Ft. Knox where I will see what they have.

Thanks Tom Kaiser

Also to add... any scale data that I may post may be found via this page: http://www.meatballrocketry.com/articles.htm

Josh, do you have any Josie and the Pussycats in Space rocketship scale data?

This one may be of help for the genie Fred;
and a little on the AIM-26 Nuclear Falcon b&w pic. AIM-47 Falcons could go either HE or nuke so I'm not sure which you want.

Those are great pics... thanks for sharing.

I got a DVD at the Nat'l Atomic Museum in Albuquerque, NM a few years back called "The Atomic Filmmakers" http://www.vce.com/atomic.html and in the video they interviewed several of the cameramen that filmed the atom bomb tests in Nevada. One of the cameramen was told to report and set up for a test, and when he got there he only found five guys standing by a sign marked "ground zero" and asked where the test was going to take place, and was told "right here"... a Genie was launched off a VooDoo and detonated a mile above their head to prove that using nuclear armed antiaircraft missiles was perfectly safe for ground troops directly below the detonation. The film footage was shown in the video, as well as footage he shot after the detonation looking straight up into the 'smoke ring' from the blast.

I know one thing-- I'd rather have been a mile away from it at ground level than have it a mile overhead-- the air is thinner as you go up and you'd be exposed to more prompt radiation with thinner air between you and the bomb than having it at ground level with thicker air between you and the blast... but then again, that wasn't the purpose...

Those VCE vids are just amazing... the Kannakin test of the Nike-Zeus (IIRC) up in Alaska was just amazing... well worth the money!

Here's a link to the index page on the Ninfinger site for Model Rocketry magazine, once there find Genie on the page.

http://www.ninfinger.org/rockets/Mod...ToVolume1.html

Follow the link to the PDF of the March 1969 issue of Model Rocketry, there are plans to build a scale model of the Genie and a scale drawing.

I've been considering using this to build a model rocket of the Genie.

Thanks very much for the link It will go someday along with the minuteman and nuclear tipped falcon

WOOT!
I have been looking for a copy of that article.
Thanks for posting.

Just ran across this page searching for something else.

It may be difficult to find data detailed beyond Peter Always drawings that I posted here the end of 2008: http://www.meatballrocketry.com/sa1_data.htm

If you do find any, I'll be the first to want to know.

Any "Corrective" data that I have come across has been in the form of Saturn IB drawings (David Weeks) or the PDF Saturn IB drawings from the CD the Apogee Books Saturn I/IB book, as well as video stills from the Mighty Saturns DVDs. There are also various tidbits about SA-5's antennas and such at ntrs.nasa.gov. I am also working on some corrective data on the Block II fins and holddowns, but it is not nearly ready to post.

Also to add... any scale data that I may post may be found via this page: http://www.meatballrocketry.com/articles.htm

For what it's worth, the principal source of details in my drawings was a set of blueprints for the official NASA 1/96 scale display model, confirmed and supplemented by photos and some NASA drawings that showed less detail.
