Astra "Rocket 3.X" logos page
Hello All,
For those interested in modeling Astra's https://astra.com/ various "Rocket 2.X" and "Rocket 3.X" vehicles, they have provided, on their website, an entire set of Astra logos and their official variations (dark-on-light, light-on-dark, etc.), which are on ^this^ https://astra.com/style-guide/ page of their site. While they do assert all of their copyright (and, I presume, trademark) protections, those things--realistically--don't really apply to an individual space modeler's hand-made, one-off flying scale model, and: Even where serial kit production is considered, I think--although I can't speak for them, of course--that they would be happy to have a model rocket company produce scale kits of their vehicles, as long as they were properly asked. Their "Rocket 2.X" suborbital test vehicles looked like miniature Atlas-Centaurs (they all had/have specific numbers after the decimal [for example, their latest vehicle, which--to their surprise--^almost^ reached orbit, was Rocket 3.2]; I just use the 'generic' terms "Rocket 2.X" and "Rocket 3.X" to refer to their types). The "Rocket 3.X" orbital vehicles--in whose design the ogive nose (it looks like a 3:1) payload fairing covers the pressure-fed kerolox second stage (the five pentagonally-arranged kerolox first stage engines use electric pumps, like Rocket Lab's Electron) and the payload--has a "faceted" payload fairing, resembling the appearance of a Zeppelin-type rigid airship.
