    This revised edition of the Launch Vehicle Engines Project Development Plan supersedes the issue dated July 1, 1965. Significant changes which have been made are:- Removal of classified data to permit publication as an unclassified document; - Removal of material applicable to the RL-10 Engine Project which was transferred to the Lewis Research Center effective May 1, 1966; - Elimination of detailed schedules which quickly become obsolete; - Punched for maintenance in loose-leaf 3-ring binders and for ease in updating material through issuance of replacement sheets. Binders are not furnished. The information in this document is current to January 1, 1967.; The Launch Vehicle Engines Project Development Plan is established in accordance with requirements of NASA General Management Instruction 4-1-1, Planning and Implementation of NASA Projects, and OMSF Instruction MP 9320.044, Preparation and Revision of Program/Project Development Plans (PDP's). The Plan, herein referred to as the PDP, has been developed within the scope of current Apollo Projects Approval Documents (PADS) and will be maintained by the Engine Program Manager to identify program requirements, responsibilities, tasks, and resources, and time phasing of major actions required to accomplish the Engine Program.

    The primary mission objective of the 5-2 Engine Project is to continue development of a liquid oxygen/liquid hydrogen engine. capable of high-altitude restart. Both Saturn IB and Saturn V vehicles will use the J-2 engine; the S-IVB stage of Saturn IB vehicles and S-IVB stage of Saturn V vehicles will be equipped with a single J-2 engine. The S-I1 stage of Saturn V vehicles will use a cluster of five J-2 engines. Figure 1-3 illustrates these stages.

  • ManuplanSatV.pdf

    This procedure provides the necessary information for the fabrication and assembly of the Saturn C-5 booster stage S-IC. The manufacturing methods outlined herein represent techniques that will be utilized both at Michoud and MSFC wherever possible. The concepts and methods outlined are of a preliminary nature consistent with the stage of design at this time. These concepts and methods are subject to change. This Manufacturing Plan will be periodically updated to reflect such changes. The processes and techniques proposed in this Manufacturing Plan are generally within the present state of the art, consistent with reliability requirements for manned space flight and advocated for use with the limited manufacturing facilities of the Marshall Space Flight Center and the Michoud Production Facility.; Includes memorandum dated 15 Jan. 1963 from J. H. Chesteen, Chief, Engineering Planning Section. M-ME-SE.; Includes memorandum from J. H. Chesteen and N. E. Johansen to W. B. Edmiston and W. R. Kuers--subject: Integration Boeing-MSFC Manufacturing plan. December 18, 1962.

  • Mastplanfordocu.pdf

    Prepared for National Aeronautics and Space Administration, George C. Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Alabama. Accepted by V.C. Sorensen, Chief, Management Services Office. Management Services Project, RCA; SUMMARY: The objective of this study is to describe a comprehensive plan for the development and full utilization of methods and means to be employed in the years prior to 1976 for the effective acquisition, collection, storage, retrieval, distribution, and use of engineering documentation. Because of the violently changing state of the art of data acquisition, storage, and retrieval the description of the plan does not embrace the details of a total decade of phased change. Rather it describes actions that can and should be taken in the relatively near future, and proposes a continuing series of later studies to keep this plan current for the full decade.

  • Impamanudesi.pdf

    The purpose of this paper is to emphasize the need for accessibility in the assembly and maintenance of spacecraft. This is especially pertinent because accessibility to subsystems for replacement, repair, and maintenance has proven to be one of the more costly phases of preflight preparation. The most successful programs in this day and age have been when the design and manufacturing engineers work side by side around a mockup where solutions to the problems can be visually seen and solved, keeping in mind the assembly as related to accessibility. Therefore, it will be shown that in order to overcome the difficulties, designers should adapt a hard, fast ground rule that each unit must be accessible and individually removable without disturbing the other units.; Aeronautic and Space Engineering and Manufacturing Meeting, Los Angeles, Calif. Oct. 7 - 11, 1968.
