"Meteoroid measurements with Project Pegasus."
Presentation at the Northeast Electronics Research and Engineering Meeting, Boston, Massachusetts, November 4, 1965. Ernest Stuhlinger, Director, Research Projects Laboratory, George C. Marshall Space Flight Center (NASA), Huntsville, Alabama.; INTRODUCTION: The prime objective of Project Pegasus is to measure, in the vicinity of the earth, the meteoroid penetration frequency in aluminum sheets of thicknesses which approach those of space capsule walls. Plans for the project were initiated at NASA in 1962 by the Office of Advanced Research and Technology and the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center. Throughout the project, members of the Langley Research Centers supported the project with experiments and advice. -
"Methods for cleaning electronic components and subassemblies."
In describing the cleaning of electronic components and subassemblies, it must be taken into consideration that each part to be cleaned presents an individual problem. The method of cleaning must be tailored to the type of part to be cleaned as well as to the type of soil to be removed. This paper reviews some of the methods used in cleaning electronic arts, particularly printed circuits, as well as other critical hardware which is used in support of electronic assemblies. Some of the methods covered include the use of abrasives, acids, solvents and alkalies, and the employment of these in combination with ultrasonic and other automatic systems. The clean room in use at IBM Huntsville is described briefly, along with the solutions and solvents used in cleaning electronic and supporting parts. Cleanliness- requirements for the area and the materials, together with procedures for meeting them give added emphasis to the critical nature of today's contamination control programs. The paper concludes with a summary of the cleaning procedures and the cleanroom benefits to be obtained by using present day technologies to improve them. -

"Milestones in cryogenic liquid propellant rocket engines."
This paper reviews the milestones achieved with cryogenic liquid propellant rocket engines, discusses current technology improvement programs, and projects future engine designs. During the last two decades, these cryogenic rocket engines have played a major role in rocketry and achieved numerous important milestones. These engines power the Vanguard, Redstone, Thor, Atlas, and Titan I vehicles , the Saturn I and Uprated Saturn I vehicles, and will soon be employed in the Saturn V for the Apollo missions. The requirements dictated by these vehicles have necessitated growth from the 27,000-pound-thrust Vanguard engine to the 7,600,000-pound-thrust booster cluster for the Saturn V. Gains in specific impulse have also been significant. The successful application of liquid hydrogen in the Centaur and Saturn upper-stage rocket engines was a major achievement. -

"Minimax control of large launch boosters."
Keith D. Graham is principal mathematician, Systems and Research Center, Honeywell, Inc., 2345 Walnut Street, St. Paul, Minnesota.; Work done under NASA contract NAS 8-11206 from the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center.; ABSTRACT: A method of specifying the gains of a linear controller for a large launch booster using a new application of optimal control theory is described in this paper. Results for a specific example are included. An important control requirement is to maintain cost variables (such as bending moment, engine gimbal deflection, and lateral deviation from desired trajectory) within specified limits in the presence of load disturbances. This requirement is met by using a performance index which depends explicitly on maximum achievable values of the cost variables in a finite time interval. -
