Does anyone have ideas as to where I can obtain good scale detail drawings of the Space Shuttle's External Tank? Years ago I had a spiral bound set of 11x17 drawings showing the internal and external details of the E.T., but they were lost in a house fire years ago.
Heck, I don't even remember who builds the damned thing (Martin-Marietta, now Lockheed-Martin? I seem to recall that the factory is in Louisiana).

Thanks again!
 
Thanks for that !

It reminded me that the External Tank inspired the dimensions for my fictional Space Tug...

"... Two rings of five spheres joined by chubby tubes, it looked a toy..."

Hey ! It was either that or the Saturn 5 1st stage minus engines, and the former had CAD...
