Folks,
Aerojet General Corporation has created a data packet on their Astrobee 1500 sounding rocket designed for use by scale modelers.
This data is compiled on DVD and includes manufacturer drawings, sales brochures, flight reports and a series of pictures reproduced from color slides (Samples attached).
This is an experiment by a few of the Aerojet staff to gauge the interest in making this information available to modelers.
And...It's free!
In order to obtain one of these data DVDs, you will need to write a polite and professional letter to Aerojet requesting the DVD.
Write to:
Judy Bauer
Aerojet Communications Dept.
P.O. Box 13222
Sacramento, CA 95813
In your letter request, "...A set of DVDs of historical information on the Astrobee 1500". Note: The data may come on one or two DVDs depending on how it is compiled/copied.
A few notes about ordering this data:
1) Requests MUST be in writing. Please do not call or try to e-mail.
2) One DVD/set of DVDs per letter.
3) Please do not request information on any other Aerojet products along with the Astrobee 1500 data requests.
Again, this is a test project. Depending on the response to the Astrobee 1500 data, data DVDs for other Aerojet sounding rockets may be made available at a later date (Hint: Next program would be the Astrobee-D).
Several Aerojet staff in the Communications Department and other areas of the company have worked to make this data available to modelers. Aerojet has a long history of developing important rockets for scientific and government needs.
This data would make an excellent resource while building Peter Alway's Astrobee 1500 model.
Even if you don't believe you would ever build an Astrobee 1500 model, looking through all the information on the DVD is pretty cool!
And, remember, it's free!
So, don't hesitate to write Aerojet and request your copy of Astrobee 1500 data. Be sure to thank them for making this resource available.
