"Failure Investigations of Large Liquid Propelled Rocket Engine Components."
Case histories of seven typical failures in large liquid propelled rocket engines components have been prepared. Quite simple to complex investigations are presented covering a variety of failure modes in a variety of materials. Included are successful solutions to the failure problems investigated.; Archive copy is a poor photocopy. -

A history of Pratt and Whitney Aircraft Florida Research and Development Center. -
"Launch Information: Saturn S-IV and the RL10 Engine."
The RL10, which powers the National Aeronautics and Space Administration' s Saturn S-IV, is the newest propulsion system to be put to work in advancing our nation's space effortr On November 27, 1963, a pair of RLlO's successfully powered a five-ton Centaur space vehicle in earth orbit in the first flight demonstration of the outer space powerplant which uses high-nenergy liquid hydrogen as fuel. A six-engine cluster of RLlO' s, generating a total of 90, 000 pounds of thrust, powers the Saturn S-IV stage. The 15, 000 pound-thrust engine was designed and developed for NASA's Mar shall Space Flight Center at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft's Florida Research and Development Center, 20 miles northwest of West Palm Beach. -
"Launch Vehicle Engines Project Development Plan."
The primary mission objective of the 5-2 Engine Project is to continue development of a liquid oxygen/liquid hydrogen engine. capable of high-altitude restart. Both Saturn IB and Saturn V vehicles will use the J-2 engine; the S-IVB stage of Saturn IB vehicles and S-IVB stage of Saturn V vehicles will be equipped with a single J-2 engine. The S-I1 stage of Saturn V vehicles will use a cluster of five J-2 engines. Figure 1-3 illustrates these stages. -
"Liquid Hydrogen Technology, J-2 Engine."
subject of the speech is the application of oxygen/hydrogen technology the 5-2 engine system. -
"Liquid Rocket Engines."
This paper presents a discussion on liquid propellant rocket engines. The first part contains a discussion on liquid propellants, including a description of various propellant types such as cryogenic, storable,bipropellant, and monopropellant. This part also points out desirable physical properties and includes a section on performance outlining the methods by which performance is calculated and shows performance for various liquid rocket propellant combinations. -
"Liquid Rocket Propellant Compatibility Testing."
Material-propellant compatibility as related to liquid rocket propulsion system design criteria is discussed and applicable test methods to derive usable design data are presented. Test methods, with emphasis on metallic materials, are discussed and the shortcomings of a number of these test methods are pointed out. These tests include static immersion tests, stress-corrosion tests, flow tests, impact tests, and tests to determine the effect of cracks and notches in metals on compatibility. A general outline for the evaluation of metallic and nonmetallic materials with respect to propellant compatibility is presented. -
"Liquid Rockets."
This review indicates recent developments which have occurred in the liquid rocket engine field, special development areas associated with the liquid engines in current usage, and several trends which may be expected in the design of future advanced rocket engines. -
