PROACH MODELS GALLERY

There is a story behind every space model we've made

45 Falcon 9 models Ready for Packing 45 Falcon 9 “Block V” launch vehicle models built by Proach Models for SpaceX in November, 2019. In taking a good look, you will see that not all of them are identical. There are the Falcon 9 cargo versions with the 17-foot fairing, and behind those are Falcon 9 rockets with Dragon capsules. These are the crew capsules that launch crews into Earth orbit, either to the International Space Station or other specialized orbital missions. Built in 1/72 scale and measure just over 3 ft tall.	Proach Models Bumper models in CCAFS Gift Shop In 2000 Proach Models was commissioned to build 50 Bumper rockets for Cape Canaveral Air Station. These models were used as table centers at a dinner celebrating the Cape’s 50th anniversary and the first ever launch from that facility. It was July 23, 1950 that the U.S. launched Bumper, a rocket designed to study the upper atmosphere. Bumper consisted of a captured V2 rocket with a WAC Corporal built into the nose of the rocket.	Dragon/SpaceX launch coverage Lauren Lyons from SpaceX describing a point about the Dragon II Crew Vehicle, using a model of the Dragon II built by Proach Models. The model was built in 1/48 scale, and casted from a mold where the masters used to make the mold were entirely 3D printed.	Nick Proach with his model of the Lunar Lander
Nick Proach and Alan Bean Nick Proach with Apollo 12 Astronaut Alan Bean and a model of Surveyor III, which Proach Models built for him in 2002	HST Hubble Space Telescope Commissioned by the Ontario Science Centre. "Our visitors love it! Your team did a beautiful job in recreating the Hubble in such fine detail. It is a wonderful addition to our Space Hall." – Sara Poirier, Researcher/Programmer Astronomy & Space Sciences Ontario Science Centre	3 Heavy-lift Manned Space Launchers This photo illustrates the size comparisons of the 3 heavy-lift manned space launchers. From left to right, the Apollo Saturn V, the Space Shuttle stack and the Space Launch System. Models shown are 1/200 scale, with the Saturn V standing 23 1/2" tall.	Nick with astronaut Scott Carpenter Nick receiving a model base signed by Mercury astronaut Scott Carpenter at the Kennedy Space Center in November, 2011. Scott was the first astronaut Nick met during the Apollo Soyuz mission in July of 1975, and was fortunate to dine with Scott on a few special occasions in Toronto, Cleveland and the Kennedy Space Center.
Nick Proach with Gene Cernan Nick and his J-mission 1:48 scale Apollo Saturn V with Apollo 17 commander Gene Cernan. Captain Cernan dropped by to say, "hi" at the Proach Models booth during SpaceFest VI in Pasadena, California in June, 2014.	GPS Satellites globe model A model of the Earth showing the orbital formation of Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites as they orbit the Earth. It was built for a traveling space exhibit in 2005.	Orion Spacecraft This 1/100 scale model of the first test flight of NASA’s new Orion Spacecraft was built for Robert Pearlman of Collectspace. The model stands over 2 feet tall.	Saturn V The all-up Saturn V in 1/25 scale, built for Guard Lee in Florida. This model stands almost 16 feet in height.
Nick Proach with Alan Bean Nick with Alan Bean at his residence in Houston Texas with the actual hammer Alan used on his 2 moon walks during the Apollo 12 mission in November, 1969.	Rockets Models of the Mercury Redstone, Gemini-Titan II and the upper stage of an Apollo Saturn V are built in 1/25 scale. Redstone measured almost 3 feet tall, the GT-II over 4 ½ feet tall. The Apollo Saturn V upper stage section measured well over 5 feet tall.	Chandra X-Ray A 1:48 scale model of the Chandra X-ray Observatory. It featured an opening aperture door to show the primary lenses of the observatory. 75 of these models were built for staff at TRW, now Northrop Grumman in California, who worked on the actual spacecraft. The original prototype is in the Proach Models Museum.	NEOSAT NEOSAT, or Near Earth Orbiting Satellite, was a concept satellite model built for the Canadian Armed Forces. The mission of the actual satellite was to spot asteroids and other major space debris coming too close to Earth. The model pictured here was built in 1:3 scale and measured almost 18 inches in length.
Edgar Mitchell at Fra Mauro Signed model	25th Redstone & Gemini-Titan II A view from the bottom up of the Mercury Redstone and the Gemini-Titan II models in 1/25 scale. These models, along with a 1/25 scale Saturn V and a Space Shuttle stack, were built by Proach Models for Guard Lee, who built a space exhibit for a museum in Columbia.
