  "Redundancy employing majority voting for a Saturn servoactuator."

  R-ASTR-NF.; ABSTRACT: The servoactuator was developed to improve the reliability of the Saturn S-IVB thrust vector control system by insuring continued system operation if single point failures occur. The selection of the majority voting technique is discussed. Its simplicity is cited along with the advantages of minimum weight, size, power consumption, and compatibility with existing control electronics. Operational features, design mechanization, and the analysis of test results are covered.

  "Flat Cable Engineering Studies for Saturn S-IVB Vehicles."

  This paper describes the engineering approaches, investigations, results and conclusions of two National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) flat-cable contracts from the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) to the Douglas Aircraft Company, Inc., for feasibility studies on the S-IVB stage of the Saturn Vehicle. In addition, the objectives and approaches for a third contract., "Flat-Cable Engineering Study", are discussed. A sister Douglas Paper No. 4186, to be presented by Dr. P. L. Hill, covers in detail the manufacturing aspects of the Flat-Cable Development Program.; Prepared by R.A. Klotz, Advance applications, Saturn Electronics, Missile and Space Systems Group, McDonnell Douglas Corporation for presentation at: IPC/EDN Flat-Cable Seminar, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California, 20 June 1967.
