Uchusen Rockets宇宙船

Rockets drawn from sourced sizes: line drawings and painted 3D views you drop into a page, take apart and turn round, and a typed model that checks whether a rocket really goes together.

stageOffunction

What of a craft is left at a phase of its trip, to draw: the whole rocket until the ascent is over, the upper stage with its payload for the departure burn and the coast, and the payload alone from the turn round. A ship that burns all the way is whole throughout.
