"A Hybrid Simulation for Dynamic Verification of Saturn Guidance and Control Subsystems."
This paper presents a discussion of a hybrid simulation used to dynamically verify the Saturn Guidance and Control subsystems. First, the Saturn vehicle is briefly described to provide background information. The Instrument Unit (IU) is considered in more detail to give a proper setting for the Guidance and Flight Control (G and FC) discussion that follows. After a brief description of the actual G and FC System operation, simulation models of the G and FC components are considered in detail. This is followed by a discussion of the model assignment to a particular computer (digital or analog) and justification for making that assignment. Finally, results of the AS-204/LM1 hybrid simulation studies are briefly considered with mention of the actual flight data. -
"All Digital Simulation of Saturn I, IB, and V: Boost Vehicle and Guidance Control Systems."
The introduction notes, "The Saturn V launch vehicle is being developed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's George C. Marshall Space Flight Center for Project Apollo; Saturn I and Saturn IB vehicles are providing the early testing and support for Project Apollo. The nerve center of the Saturn is its guidance and control system. An airborne digital computer provides the link which closes both the guidance and control loops,making verification of the flight computer program of vital importance. During a powered flight this onboard digital computer program can be divided into four major parts:a) guidance, including navigation, b) control, c) vehicle sequencing, and d) computer telemetry." -

"Historical Summary: S & ID Apollo Program."
Four and a half years have passed since President Kennedy and the United States Congress established a national goal of landing a man on the moon, before the end of the decade. This brief history is designed to be a working tool for use during the second half of this great adventure. It is expected that by presenting the events of the past in perspective this document will become a handy reference to accomplishments of the first half of the program. It is hoped that this volume will be of value to those directly and indirectly concerned with North American's portion of the Apollo program. This history contains a chronology of significant events, as well as material on the management of the program, a record of some of the breakthroughs in technology, a report of the hardware produced to date, and the many tests performed to man-rate the equipment. -
"Letter to Dr. George E. Mueller."
This letter regarding designations for Apollo missions notes that "Unfortunately, the scheme for designating missions as stated in your message does not yet solve the problem of reserving the Apollo 1 name for Spacecraft 012 and its crew. As we have discussed with you and General Phillips in the past, the wives of the three deceased astronauts have made a special plea to reserve this Apollo 1 designation for Spacecraft 012 and the Grissom, White and Chaffee crew."; Archive copy is a photocopy.; In replay refer to: AB. -
