I had the large NASA GOSS Apollo mission profile poster hanging by my bed when I was a kid. I spent countless hours standing on the bed studying every minute detail.
Beautiful rendering of the lunar landers. May I ask, is that your LEM model or did you source it elsewhere?
I was hoping to also see a full version of the CSM/Soyuz comparison teaser image in the main article.
I'd love to get more details, so I could match the level of information on the old Apollo posters.
Not my LEM model, I'm not sure which one I used, I have a few... It might be one that Shrox (Of IAAA fame!) let me use.
As for the teaser image... I wanted something colour in the right proportions, and that sprung to mind. The article was already close to the recommended maximum length.
However, I have lots of numbers for the LOK and LK, and if I can get the equivalent Apollo data, (which should be straightforward), a side by side comparison would indeed be good!
I'm also working on a picture with every Soviet Moon Lander design I can find, to scale by all the others. I'm up to about 16 I think...
Nick with all due respect N1-L3 was an integrated launch vehicle as well as Apollo-Saturn. You graphic compares LOK with Apollo combined command and service modules.
My objective here was to make a prettier, English language version of the original picture. I didn't try to add any information. I wanted to change it as little as possible.
Also, if you download the files from my Gum Road page, (pay what you like, including $0), it's provided in PSD format, so you can edit the different elements and change it as you wish.
