Does anyone know the "Flight Number" for the LTV SCOUT bearing the "ITALIA" markings
( Same as the ESTES model ) ?

Also, does anyone know of any Photo's of that prototype ?

Thanks !

Well, let's see. I'm 50 years old, 5'10", brown hair, brown eyes. Oh, wait... You wanted the tall, pointy LTV Scout info.



Don't say it, Bill....

I can't help you with this, but...how much will your LTV Scout kits with 3-D printed parts sell for? Also, will there be Blue Scout I, Blue Scout II, and Blue Scout Jr. kits?

I'll bet that "ITALIA" tattoo is a real conversation-starter... :-)

Thanks for the link . . .

After more research, I'm looking for SCOUT 137R ( Scout-X4 / San Marco 1 ). I need drawings and pics, please.

"Magnetosphere Satellite" . . . ???

I think that stated orbit is outside the "published" capabilities of the Scout, isn't it ?

"HETS" ???

Peter Alway documented that Blue Scout Jr. round in his "Rockets of the World 2000 Supplement" booklet (see: http://www.arapress.com/rotw_sup2000.php - ARA Press and NARTS both carry it, as well as Peter's other books). It flew what must be the most distant suborbital flight ever made, three-quarters of the way to the Moon's orbit--but a payload failure resulted in no data being transmitted back to Earth! The unguided Blue Scout Jr. had more than enough performance to orbit a satellite but was never used to do that. Even though it was unguided (being spin-stabilized), it could have done it via proper timing of the ignition of its motors (the U.S. Navy's air-launched, unguided NOTSNIK vehicle used this method; due to the primitive tracking facilities back in 1958 [plus the secrecy of the project], it is unknown if any of them reached orbit).
