"Apollo/Saturn consolidated instrumentation plan for AS-204/LM-1."
This report represents the consolidated instrumentation plan for employing optical and electronic data acquisition systems to monitor the performance and trajectory of the Apollo/Saturn 1B vehicle, AS-2 04/LM-1, during powered flight. Telemetry and electronic tracking equipment on board the vehicle, and data acquisition systems monitoring the flight are discussed. Flight safety instrumentation and vehicle data transmission are described, and geophysical information is provided. This plan reflects the general instrumentation coverage requirements set forth in the NASA Program Support Requirements Document (PSRD) for Apollo/Saturn 16, and the commitments of Eastern Test Range (ETR) Operations Directive (OD) No. 4206,dated 15 August 1967. This plan is not intended to conflict with or to supersede either document. The information presented in this document reflects planning concepts developed prior to October 1, 1967. -
"Organization of a countdown"
The Organization of a Countdown was developed over 8 years of missiles and space systems testing at the Douglas Aircraft Company, Sacramento test Center. The experience on which this study was based includes the Thor development and acceptance testing, Titan I second stage engine development testing, Development of liquid hydrogen handling techniques, Saturn S-IV and S-IVB development and acceptance testing. The intent of this paper is to examine the static test countdown organization and discuss the need for a systematic method to organize a countdown. -

"Saturn V ground winds program."
The concept on Saturn V was to "budget" an amount for the dynamic portion of the wind load as a factor on the steady state drag. Wind tunnel tests paralleled the development and fabrication phases. The results indicated that the system was unable to withstand the design winds; thus, a decision was made to implement a viscous damper "fix" on the facility vehicle at the Kennedy Space Center. Damping tests in the Vertical Assembly Building (VAB) will have been completed and response tests on the pad will be in progress at the time of this symposium. This paper will present the history and status of this program to date. -
"IU/S-IVB Forward Skirt Orbital and Translunar Thermal Analyses."
This report determines the maximum and minimum solar and terrestrial thermal energy incident and absorbed by Saturn IB/V vehicles in earth orbit and translunar travel. The influence' of this external energy on the Instrument Unit Thermal Conditioning System performance, and consequently its adequacy to maintain the electronic packages at acceptable temperature limits is ascertained. Conclusions are: a) Methanol/water coolant temperature will deviate from 111 specifications only during translunar cold flights. However, adequate thermal conditioning of the electronic equipment would still be maintained. b) Instrument Unit missions exceeding 6 1/2 hours, or electronic packages heat dissipation magnitudes lower than 3 kw or higher than 8.5 kw, should be reviewed to ascertain thermal compatibility. -
