To celebrate the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle's EFT-1 test
flight, here is an Orion-like nose cone for model rockets. It features
details such as the ogive fairing, the fillet region, the abort motor
nozzles, the jettison motor nozzles, and the raceway.
Orion EFT-1 was launched on a Delta-IV Heavy on December 5th, 2014. Soon Orion will fly on the SLS. Now you can launch Orion on your own rocket!

Just download, scale to your tube diameter, and print out.
See example printed on a MakerBot Replicator 2, sized for the 1.62" O.D. body tube of an Estes Baby Bertha rocket. This Orion nose cone is about 5.75" tall.
