"Flight Evaluation of the Command and Communication System Aboard AS-501."
The first test of the command and communications system, a unified frequency S-band system, aboard AS-501 was successful. Compatibility of this system with the MSFN/USB sites was established. The onboard transponder and antenna system including antenna switching performed as predicted. The command performance was excellent with 5747 valid commands received onboard out of 5748 commands transmitted. Data reduction problems prevented a complete analysis of the tracking data. Telemetry system performance was satisfactory with a measured bit-error-rate of 4 x10-5 while over the Ascension Island station. This flight provided valuable data which can be used to define vehicle to-ground-station interfaces, to establish attitude constraints during translunar injection, and to improve operational procedures. One more test as successful as the AS-501 test would qualify the system as operational.; May 3,1968. -

"The development of the Saturn system safety program."
This paper describes the major highlights or milestones passed in the development of a System Safety Program at MSFC since early 1967. it discusses accomplishments, problems resolved, and decisions made for Apollo Saturn vehicles AS-501 and AS-502, and projects that are to be accomplished on future Saturn vehicles. -
"Memorandum : AAP experiment assignments - Case 600-1."
This memorandum reports the results of an effort to organize and update experiment assignments for inclusion in the AAP Flight Mission Assignments Document. Experiment assignment lists are included which indicate the following: 1) Original experiment assignments to the Orbital Workshop and ATM missions - AAP-1 through AAP-4; 2) Mission AAP-1A experiment assignments and the resulting unloading of experiments from AAP-1 through AAP-4; 3) Proposed assignments for inclusion in the draft FMAD; 4) Current status of the AAP experiment assignments.; X67-36860.; NASA TR - 85723. -
"Interface Problems in Space Experimentation."
Space experimentation is expanding rapidly. Unmanned satellites are being equipped with precision instruments of greater power, and manned space stations accommodating large crews are in the drawing-board stage. The interface problems between these sophisticated instruments and between man, the spacecraft, and the supporting groundstations are multidimensional. This paper analyzes the scientific/technical areas of space experimentation, and continues with a review of the subsystems and support systems required to supply and operate the large variety of instruments. Areas of major integration efforts are singled out and the requirements for further developments and improvements are listed. A bibliography of 95 references is enclosed to assist in the identification of more detailed reports on all vital aspects of space experimentation.; Archive copy is a photocopy.; Supplement to IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems, Vol. AES-2, No. 4, July, 1966. Pages 237 to 255.
