First Stage Impact Points?
All -
I have been looking for months for information on where first stages of rockets (mostly US but I am also interested in Russian and Chinese) impacted (nominally). I found a table of Saturn first stage impact points and have read some about Russian impacts downrange near Karaganda, Kazakhstan. Also found a description, with detailed Lat and Long, of the Apollo 11 launch that left debris on the deck of a German ship. So this is not about launch failures, but nominal launches. Anybody that could point me to a source? I have looked in most of the usual suspects. Spacefacts, NASA sites, etc. TIA |
