If you could find this kind of detail for the Malemute, I'd appreciate it.
You have the transition piece dwg sk4-22533. Is there a chance you have a drawing of the front part of the rocket tube that mates with this transition piece? This part mates with the nose cone on one side and I assume the rocket tube on the other.
I am trying to figure out the source of the 12.5 inch dimension at the nose cone/body junction.
What I feel confident about are:
1. OD of nose cone 12.162 inches. source: dwgs above
2. OD of transition piece 12.162. dwgs above.
3. OD of main body tube 12.00 source: Rocket data sheet in post 1 of this thread.
The 12.5 dimension is either a feature on the front of the main rocket tube or an error and the dim is really only 12.162.
Unfortunately. I don't have more drawings.Yes, that is the transition piece I am talking about. The nose cone mates to the left side of section A-A.
I believe the main rocket body mates on the right side.
Do you have a drawing of the mating part?
Any chance you have ever come across a picture or more details on the motors / shrouds for the 3x cluster Hydra booster w/ the Sparrow motors?Unfortunately. I don't have more drawings.

This may help ( a little ).Any chance you have ever come across a picture or more details on the motors / shrouds for the 3x cluster Hydra booster w/ the Sparrow motors?
Wondering what the shrouds should look like.
Thank you -- I was wondering if all the "Sparrow" stuff out there referred to the same motors...This may help ( a little ).

19660081606 - Performance summary for the iris sounding rocket vehicle,1961This drawing seems to show an interstage coupler that with an enclosed connection from the booster to the nozzle of the sustainer. That's clearly not the case with all the other information that shows the 7- or 3-motor cluster boosters, which just have a cone and free air between them. Does anyone know what the source of the representation in this drawing is? It looks like a three-motor cluster, but is maybe even shorter than the 7-motor cluster that's documented.
Perhaps, it's just a poor drawing of the Booster ?That drawing still appears to depict something other than what's described in the text. Although the length measurements match up, it's a significantly different arrangement of the interstage than is seen in any other information source.
