Seeking data/pictures: Misty picture Talos Terrier sounding rockets
I find references to Talos Terrier sounding rockets being used as part of the Misty Picture big bang test. but I can't find drawing or pictures.
I'm interested in the payload/nosecone.

Thanks Dave. I had found those also. Still no pictures, though.
I have seen a photo pf a Terrier with a scientific payload that looked a lot like the one I made for my Malemute. I might set up to just use that.

That's awesome Chris!!
I wonder what that nosecone is? It looks like a 10-11 degree cone with a blunt tip. And the circle under the nosecone? Not likely to be a NASA meatball. It gives me something to work with, though! And I'd like to fly the Talos Terrier before I try a Talos Terrier Recruit or a Talos Terrier Black Brant.

Wow, I'm wondering how that image was created. What comes to mind is an almost Rube Goldberg "image scanner" that was used in the mid 1980's with a Macintosh's Imagewriter dot-matrix printer. The ribbon cartridge was replaced by the scanner sensor in a housing the same shape as the cartridge. The object being scanned HAD to be a photo or paper, capable of being inserted into the printer and advanced by the print rollers. Actually, come to think of it, the Imagerwriter used pin-feed paper, so I think whatever was scanned had to be taped onto pin-feed paper first. The image scan cartridge made a single horizontal run, the software would advance the paper a tiny bit, and then another horizontal scan, and so on. Very slow. And not very good quality. But it worked, and was not very expensive. Not saying I think this was used on that image. Ah, googled it. "Thunderscan". Cost a bit more than I remembered (I never had one, saw Matt Steele using one). Article: https://www.appleworld.today/blog/2...owback-thursday
