"Philosophy and practices of reliability as applied in the design of the Saturn Instrumentation System."
The basic engineering approach used in the Saturn instrumentation system has evolved to provide a highly reliable design for short periods of operation. The airborne measuring and telemetry systems including preflight tests, inspection, documentation, and feedback between the users and designers are discussed. The apparent differences between the practice and theory of reliability are rationalized. Some consideration is given to new problems in designing systems that must operate in hostile environments for long periods. The potential contribution of redundancy as a design concept is discussed.; This paper is concerned with the airborne measuring and telemetry systems; it does not attempt to treat the entire Saturn instrumentation system which consists of tracking devices including optical, radar, and Doppler, plus television, film cameras, and a myriad of instruments connected with factory checkout, ground test, and launch. -

"The reliability of the all-up concept."
Prepared for George C. Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Alabama under contract NAS8-11087. Publication No. 294-02-12-440. Special Technical Report No. 13.; INTRODUCTION: The Saturn/Apollo Systems Office at the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) requested ARINC Research Corporation to make a brief study of the reliability aspects of the All-Up concept. Under the requirements of Task 294-02 of Contract NAS8-11087, the study included a comparison between the reliability of the first Saturn V vehicle if All-Up, and its reliability with dummy upper stages. -
"Redundancy employing majority voting for a Saturn servoactuator."
R-ASTR-NF.; ABSTRACT: The servoactuator was developed to improve the reliability of the Saturn S-IVB thrust vector control system by insuring continued system operation if single point failures occur. The selection of the majority voting technique is discussed. Its simplicity is cited along with the advantages of minimum weight, size, power consumption, and compatibility with existing control electronics. Operational features, design mechanization, and the analysis of test results are covered. -
"Recoverable S-IB."
