"Furnace Brazing of Liquid Rocket Thrust Chambers."
Brazing as a technique for joining metal parts has been utilized for centuries. Industry, however, has only begun to use it on a wide scale in the last twenty years. The rapid growth of brazing has been a result of consumer and military demands Tor products of lighter weight, less expense, and higher performance. Today, brazing is one of the most widely used fabrication techniques in the production of liquid rockets, gas turbines, refrigerator and other types of heat exchangers, automobile parts, vacuum tubes, and many nuclear products. -

"General Formulation of the Iterative Guidance Mode."
From the abstract: "This report discusses the iterative guidance mode and its application to three-dimensional upper stage vacuum flight. It is an inertial or closed system mode in that the only inputs required after liftoff are available from the onboard navigation system. That is, the iterative scheme computes steering commands as a function of the state and of the vehicle - velocity, position, longitudinal acceleration, and gravitational acceleration - and the desired cutoff conditions. The guidance commands are updated each guidance cycle, using the updated state of the vehicle. The iterative guidance scheme is a path adaptive guidance scheme in that it will retain its optimization properties under all expected types and magnitudes of vehicle perturbations without any loss in accuracy at liftoff." -

"Ground testing at MSFC : research achievements review series no 9"
In 1955, the team which has become the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) began to organize a research program within its various laboratories and offices. The purpose of the program was two-fold: first, to support existing development projects by research studies and second, to prepare future development projects by advancing the state of the art of rockets and space flight. Funding for this program came from the Army, Air Force, and Advanced Research Projects Agency. The effort during the first year was modest and involved relatively few tasks. The communication of results was, therefore, comparatively easy.; Pages of handwritten notes on yellow legal paper. There is also a 3 x 5 inch card with this information. Article reference for Saturn History Files: Schuler, Albert E. (NASA-MSFC) Research and development in instrumentation for static testing. -
