Development of LOX/RP-1 engines for Saturn/Apollo launch vehicles.
The development of liquid rocket engines follow similar patterns regardless of engine size. During the development of the H-1 and F-1 engines, may problems were encountered. Mehtods of solving the combustion instability problem are discussed.; AIAA 4th Propulsion Joint Specialist Conference, Cleveland, Ohio, June 10-14, 1968.; Also available on NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS) as unclassified. Can be ordered. Also on AIAA. -
"Development of LOX/RP-1 Engines for Saturn/Apollo Launch Vehicles."
The development of liquid rocket engines follow similar patterns regardless of engine size. During the development of the H-1 and F-1 engines, many problems were encountered. Methods of solving the combustion instability problem are discussed. A description is given of the major components of each engine, outlining their unique features. The requirements for an insulation cocoon are discussed. Problems associated with materials substitution are provided; also highlighted is the fact that problems occur after engine deliveries and require continued development support. Safety features incorporated on the engines are mentioned. Solution to problems encountered in flight are discussed. Upratings of both engines systems are presented graphically.; On the NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS) unclassified. Can also be found on AIAA. -
"Saturn V launch vehicle ground support equipment fact booklet."
This booklet has been prepared to provide a quick reference to Saturn V stage peculiar ground support equipment. It consists of visual presentations and a brief description of each major component. It is intended to quickly familiarize concerned elements with the over-all MSFC launch vehicle ground support equipment and is not intended for design usage. The booklet has been prepared in five sections. Section I contains the introductory material and a description of the Saturn V mobile launcher (ML). Section II contains information on the umbilical equipment. Section III contains information on the servicing equipment, both fixed and mobile. Section IV contains information on the access equipment. Section V contains information on the handling and auxiliary equipment. -

"Techniques of implementing launch automation programs" (Saturn IB space vehicle system).
This paper identifies the methods and equipment through which automation is becoming a major factor in testing and launching Saturn IB space vehicles. The merits of a digital guidance computer and its impact in extending automated checkout are stressed; also a logical basis is established for computer and manual test control. Hardware and software elements of the automated system are described, and details pertaining to reliability are emphasized. A concluding appraisal suggests that automation will play an expanding role in future test and launch operations. -

"Vibration and acoustic environment characteristics of the Saturn V launch vehicle."
This paper presents representative examples of vibration and acoustic data from flights of the Saturn V launch vehicle and static firings of Saturn V launch vehicle stages. The purpose of the paper is to provide vibration and acoustic environment characteristics which are pertinent to the design of launch vehicles -
"Launch Vehicle Recovery System Requirements."
The primary considerations in the design and development of a recovery system applicable to present expendable first stage launch vehicles are discussed. The general requirements that define the essential characteristics of a feasible recovery system are derived from three critical phases during flight. The degree of criticalness is primarily influenced by the conditions at stage cutoff and separation. The three critical phses of flight are broken down into the following: (1) conditions and requirements between stage separation to re-entry; (2) re-entry; and (3) terminal descent and landing.
