Thanks for the illustration, I notice the SRB is called out as a "5 segment" SRB. I count thee whole segments and two amended segments with control skirts. I have not been able to find any illustrations with dimensions adequate to build a scale model from.The same goes for the "Baseline Core Stage" the "EDS" and the "Dual Use Shroud". The transition skirt/structure from the Baseline core stage to the EDS is also difficult to dimension without printing out an illustration and breaking out the scale.I see the illustration references "Configuration 45.0.2". Is there an overall guide to the configurations proposed?Thanks again for the response. Your help is invaluable.David
I am building a flying scale model (1" = 1m) of version (undecided) of the proposed/discarded Ares V Launch vehicle. Surely there is a 2D/3D model (I use SolidWorks) of the proposals that can be made available (technology transfer?) to a "civilian".I am a level 2 certified high power rocket enthusiast. I have loved the Ares V design from the beginning and would like to see it fly, even if only on a small scale.Attached is a small video of parallel (strap on) booster tests. I expect the model to be about 120" tall and nominally 11" in diameter with 4" in diameter SRB's. This is not a small undertaking and would like to be as true to the concept as possible.I am affiliated with the Space Port Rocketry Association here in Palm Bay, Florida.Any help the forum could offer would be appreciated. I can use 3D models in any format, likewise 2D drawings.Thanks,David W,Melbourne, Florida
You should make an SLS model. 2017 gives you plenty of time to build it. What motor are you planning to use on the core and boosters?
It's a bigger undertaking than you realize. It took me a year to build my flying 1/48 scale Saturn-V.
