Merger Proposal

Consensus to merge. PSR B1937+21 (talk) 14:01, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I propose merging all of the Star rocket pages (Star 27, Star 37, Star 48) into a single page. They are considered to be a single family of designs by the manufacturer, and they are very similar in design and application beyond their size. This will also allow a place for information on other stages within the Star family (Like the Star 5) that aren't necessarily significant enough to justify a whole article, but worth at least mentioning. Other similar families of solid rocket stages (Castor, Orion, Graphite-Epoxy Motor, etc) are listed in a single page as well, rather than individual pages for each variant.Brickmack Talk Contribs 18:06, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

assorted problems

Star 37 - such as the Star-40 and Star 48 - is there a - in Star-40 only?

Infobox gives Diameter of .66 m but table gives .93

In the table TE-M-714-6 & TE-M 714-8 are both designated Star-37XF; is that correct?

M = Magna, Utah for 37 but M = motor for 48; is that correct?

Star 48 - the additional stage was needed for the final leg of the journey - generally the PAM put the satellite into geosynchronous transfer orbit and a kick motor on the satellite itself did the final step of putting it into geosynchronous orbit (same problem in Star 48 entry)

Burner upper stages - is it Burner 2 or Burner II?

The text states that Star 37B produced about 4.59 tonnes of thrust for 42 seconds but that is not included in the table

Burner II was a launch vehicle upper stage developed by Boeing for the Air Force Space Systems Division... - duplicate text

Solid propellant rocket stage - data is for Star 37, not Star 37B

Star 37 specific impulse isn't a specific impulse — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.164.246.15 (talk) 17:50, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No Star 63

A Star 63 was proposed as a kick stage for Europa Clipper launched on Falcon Heavy. Presumably wider and heavier than the Star 48. - Rod57 (talk) 17:39, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Here is a Star family manual from Northrop Grumman https://cdn.prd.ngc.agencyq.site/-/media/wp-content/uploads/NG-Propulsion-Products-Catalog.pdf

As well as the 63D and 63F, a Star 75 is mentioned, and a Star 92 has been designed but never tested (presumably awaiting a customer). I'll try to remember to add these later ElectronicsForDogs (talk) 08:34, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
