Thanks David and welcome to this thread.
Guys, I think we can go back to modeling. And yes, David will share more of his work at my site. |

If you want to take this for your project- no problem. The only to do is to identify my copyright.... and to change the german flag on the Ariane..... |

David, welcome to the forum. And of course thanks for the busload of new rockets you came with, the models look good, especially the Hermes, which is, as you said, the only one around is and indeed it is a good addition!

David, another hearty welcome to the forum. Excellent work you're doing (in the classroom & the modeling/design). Interesting point on instructions from Ton. His are the gold-standard it seems, though I usually forget to snap pictures of each assembly stage ...

Dear Luke Straw-walker
Over the last decade, I have been diligently collecting technical reports on various aspects of space technology. Last year, I discovered a web-page from ESA which had numerous PDF documents that were presented as a "Space Conference" in the year 2009. The web-page address to download the various technical reports/presentations from ESA is as follows: ESA - European Interests in Space Exploration - Final architecture review presentations The quantity of documentation is considerable... and it is all for free. This reports give details on:
Ariane V has...
On the subject of Gommersal's SSTO... regrettably, I had to purchase this document (PDF) from Scott Lowther's website "www.up-ship.com" and as a consequence of this, there is the question of copyright ownership of the materials in this report. I cannot supply this report to you (for free) but you can purchase your own copy from Scott's web-site for a nominal fee (in some cases, a download only costs about $5.00). I hope that you find the ESA documents as enjoyable as I have... Yours sincerely, David Brown. |

Hi David, thanks for that link! Nice pdf's indeed. It shows you can do a lot with just improving established equipment instead of wanting to re-invent the wheel. If only they would be realized one day, but I seriously doubt this.
The Gommersall drawings remind me a lot of Philip Bono's work at Douglas in the late 60's / early 70's. It looks like all of these big weird ships like Rombus, Ithacus and Pegasus. according to that last drawing, the Gomersall ship also seem to have an aerospike engine system. Is that correct? I think it was a really popular item in those days. |

Currently, no such thing as an Ariane VI is under development. There is however the Future Launcher Preparatory Programme (FLPP). That programme will identify key design-requirements for ESA's Next Generation Launcher (NGL). The NGL programme will ultimately result in something that can be referred to as Ariane VI. The first study contracts for NGL have been awarded, the main one going to Astrium. But rest assured, the 2009 Astrium proposal for a 50 MT monster-rocket won't show up in the upcoming Astrium study report. The requirements for NGL have no need for an Ariane-5 derived very-heavy launcher.
