BIS Heavy RocketThis is a post war design by the British Interplanetary Society for a heavy rocket, clearly vbased on the V2. 4 images |
Black ArrowThe Black Arrow was a britich space project, which developed a succesful small rocket, and placed the satellite 'Prospero'. The UK remains the only nation in the world to develop and drop a sucessful space program. 8 images |
DaedalusThe Daedelus was a design project by the British Interplanetary Society, to devope a credible near future unmanned interstellar probe, with a flight time to Barnards star of 50 years or less. 17 images |

EARLEARL is a British proposal for a reusable launch vehicle which can operate in a variety of configurations from sounding rocket up to full orbital vehicle. I was asked to do a selection of visualisations for this exciting project! 15 images |
Energia Buran VulkanThis frlder is for a current work in progress, where I am trying to create the Energia / Buran / Vulkan system, which was being worked on at the fall of the Soviet Union. 11 images |
Focal telescopeFocal Telescope - A proposal to send a telescope out to where the sun can act as a gravitational lens to focus stars with incredible sensitivity 11 images |

Jodrell Bank Radio TelescopeThe Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank. The most complex model I have ever attempted. 10 images |
Long Playing RocketThe "Long Playing Rocket" was a term for a sounding rocket that would stay up longer - in fact, indefinitely. 4 images |
Long Sun Hollow AsteroidAn attempt to model aqn environment inside a hollow asteroid generation ship. Only partly successful I fear. 8 images |

MedusaThe Medusa is a design for a vehicle that is part solar sail, part Orion style nuclear pulse. The bombs push the sail forwards, and the cables play out to control the acceleration. There are major issues with exposing the capsule directly to the explosions. 7 images |
|
Orion Nuclear PulseThe 'Orion' was a serious design for a biarre vehicle, a spaceship propelled by a series of atomic explosions behind a large pusher plate. 11 images |

Umbrella shipOne of the strangest ever looking serious spacecraft designs, the 'Umbrella Ship' by Ernst Stuhlinger. The idea was to use an ion engine powered by a nuclear reactor. The large array at the top is the cooling vane system, to radiate excess heat. 7 images |
von Brauns RM-1One concept of Werher von Brauns I particularly liked was the RM-1 Lunar Reconaisance rocket, intended for Apollo 8 style lunar circumnavigation missions. 10 images |
Wernher von Braun conceptsWernher von Vraun, the man behind the V2 rocket and the Saturn V, had many concepts for other spacecraftthatwere never built. These images explore some of those early concepts. 8 images |
