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.

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."

....We've had this discussion befo If I had the cash, I'd already be
hitting you up on a deal for the entire run. 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.

It's not *my* mesh. A number of people have contributed art for APR,
and the art remains *their* property. 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.

....Where? Please speak up again, whoever you are? 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!

Which, if you didn't catch it, was Scott Ferrin.
