Project Orion: 10-meter nuclear pulse vehicles in detail
The latest issue of Aerospace Projects Review has a 71-page article on
the late 10-meter Project Orion vehicles designed for the USAF and NASA by General Atomic. This article is packed with diagrams taken from official reports, as well as data, performance graphs, all-new reconstruction drawings and artwork. The Orion vehicle is described and shown in greater detail here than ever before in publicly available articles. Also includes information on 8-meter and 12-meter concepts for military applications as well as the baseline 10-meter design that was to serve both military and Martian exploration purposes. Launch vehicles, both solid and liquid rockets, are also described. Issue V1N3 contained the first article in this series, describing internal-detonation nuclear pulse vehicle concepts. Issue V1N4 covered the initial development of Project Orion, from the earliest configurations through to the near-final designs, test facilities, safety and environmental issues, and subscale flight vehicles Copiously illustrated with photos, presentation graphics, diagrams and original drawings and artwork. http://www.up-ship.com/eAPR/index.htm |

That's General Atomics, not Atomic. No, it's General Atomic, singular, not Atomics, plural. They underwent a name change *after* the Orion program. During Orion, it was "Atomic." |

The fact that I respect you as a colleague explains why I haven't even tried to see if it's available for pirating. As it stands now, I'll give you a lower right leg for that Orion mesh, and I'll even have Pat sign it for authenticity.

I don't put any restrictions on the artists and their work apart from "please don't publish it before APR, and please don't publish in high-rez for at least a while after that issue of APR comes out. After that, go forth and profit." And the artist who created the Orion mesh has spoken up for it in this thread. So there. |

I'd love to see whether or not you'd be willing to share that mesh, provided you'd understand that it would only be used for my own artwork, and not shared anywhere else. So there. ....Down boy! Heel! Quit being so defensive here!
