NASA detailed model drawings of CEV crew launch and heavy lift launch vehicles

I found an online NASA solicitation for CEV models. NASA released a

16-mb, 37-page MS Word document. It has highly detailed and dimensioned drawings of the CEV capsule, Lunar lander, CEV crew launcher and CEV heavy lift launch vehicle.

Thanks Rusty-- There is a link in one of the other NASA documents to download the models (3-D Studio Max format). If you don't run 3DS, then the files would be pretty much useless--I don't think any CAD programs will open these up. Please don't hit the link unless you have the software, to prevent bandwidth problems--there is a short deadline (12/14) for the proprosal, and I imagine many contractors will be trying to obtain these files to produce their proposals.

I guess I stand corrected...my son (an AutoCAD guru) says AutoCAD can import

3DS files. Anybody here run AutoCAD? If you can create an SAT file, I could read it into SolidWorks.

3DS can be read by almost all 3d modeling software. Its common enough that not including support is bad for business.
