Pegasus card model
Hello All,
Here is a downloadable paper model of Orbital Sciences Corporation's Pegasus satellite launch vehicle: http://www.orbital.com/images/Graph...per_Pegasus.pdf It is a profile glider, capable of being either hand-launched or catapult-launched (using a rubber band tied to a stick). It could also be flown as a parasite boost-glider, or (using a body tube/nose cone fuselage) as a rear-motor boost-glider fitted with a rear-ejection, front-ballasted motor pod tube (equipped with rear fins for stability) for stable powered ascents.
