(updated) 1/50th scale SpaceX Falcon 1 rocket
Description
This is my new updated model of the Falcon 1 rocket by SpaceX I decided to try redeem myself and redo the Falcon 1 as I wasn't very good at CAD when I did it and I struggled to find information about it as it only flew five times. Also I will be doing a new second stage with the ability to to house the infamous RazakSAT satellite which was the first satellite that SpaceX launched into orbit successfully. Some back story on the rocket is probably needed so here it is. The falcon 1 was the first rocket SpaceX developed and it was a small sat launcher it ran on liquid oxygen and kerosene on the first and second stage and the first stage sported a merlin-1C engine and on the second stage it had a pressure fed engine called the Kestrel. SpaceX's founder Elon Musk started the company because he was frustrated when trying to buy a Russian ballistic missile to send a small payload of trees and plants to mars to take a picture to try boost peoples interest in space and increase NASA's budget. they is also this video by everyday astronaut which goes into much better in detail: https://youtu.be/P-yWHOgi6so my Ares 1 model: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4775710 my black arrow model: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4775123 my electron model: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4770661 (I will also have a picture of all my rockets soon but have been struggling to get enough filament, time and spares to actually maintain my printer. And I will be adding the new second stage and satellite soon.)
