The Saturn V had the F-1's insulated presumably because they were all in close proximity of each other so they got toasty Where'd you get the test payload?

The fact that Atlas tanks come in different lengths means you can switch some of them to other fuel types (I'm using Cryotanks for that) so the 1300 adapter tank, and the 4700 tank on the top are filled with Liquid fuel/Oxidizer, while the 9000, 4700, and 2300 tanks in the middle are filled with Liquid Hydrogen/Oxidizer.

(not referring to C-8) also, is there a future possiblity that we could get a red transtage? Followup to last nights post. Not all of the Nova Program final reports were easy to find on the NTRS server. I did not go looking further than to type the word NOVA in. and on the right side click the Space Vehicles button. Given these reports are some of the foundation of NASA I would guess we could find all of them on the NTRS servers if we had a better way to search. If you find the missing ones, please link the numbers back here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thanks for the link have just Downloaded Long story short, around 2012 or so during one of the ITAR scares Congressman Frank Wolfe got NTRS to be shutdown and evaluated for potential ITAR violations. This resulted in the complete remodeling of the site (in the process destroying all links that ended in archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov) and many documents were either moved or removed.

If you go onto the GitHub page you’ll see a drop down menu that says master, click this and then you’ll see Apoll Saturn Revamp. Hit that and then download as usual.

Occasionally I'll need the larger fairing of the 500-series, but rarely. It's mostly been one Atlas V 401 after another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
