"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. -

"The J-2 Liquid Hydrogen Rocket Engine."
The 5-2 high-energy liquid propellant rocket engine (~i~. l), a large engine producing 200,000 pounds of thrust at altitude conditions, burns liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen to produce the necessary high specific impulse for practical space use. Rocketdyne, a Division of North American Aviation, Inc., is developing the engine for the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center, Xfi. The first use of the engine will be in the upper stages of the Saturn vehicles. Five engines will be used for the second, S-I1 stage of the Saturn V, and one will power the S-IVB third stage of the Saturn V and S-ISTI second stage of 'the Saturn IB; Original is a photocopy on onion skin. -

Postflight Analysis of Saturn Telemetry Systems.
The abstract states "A telemetry system is a device to transfer information from an inaccessible to an accessible location. A constant input to a telemetry system yields outputs that are distributed according to some density function. A linear change in this constant input may yield a nonlinear change in output. The theory of statistics and experimental design may be applied to the data received from a flight to evaluate the inflight accuracy, linearity, and precision of various telemetry systems. This paper explains the analytical concepts used in postflight analysis of Instrument Unit telemetry systems. It also presents the method for interpreting the results of these analytical techniques." -

"Statistical model for Saturn electrical support equipment mission availability."
This report presents the logic leading to a mathematical expression for mission availability. Mission availability is treated as the probability that the cumulative downtime occurring during a mission of given length will be less than the time constraint. This is opposed to more general approaches such as steady state or instantaneous availability or operating time versus real time. We intend to present a practical and usable mathematical model by deduction and demonstration. The development is based on exponentially distributed downtimes. Experience shows that certain systems follow exponential downtime distributions except near zero. This error is often so small that it may be neglected. A future report will present a downtime distribution which will account for this small error. -
