"The Challenge of Change vs the Control of the Process."
The introduction states, "This paper is designed to present the Rocketdyne engine program as it applies to the Saturn launch vehicles and will apply to the Apollo program of manned flight to the moon (Fig. 1). The vehicle that will launch this flight is the Saturn V, the largest and most powerful of the Saturn family. This vehicle, 362 feet tall and 33 feet in diameter, will be capable of sending a 45-ton payload to the moon or placing a 120-ton payload in earth orbit. Five F-1 engines power the first stage of the Saturn V; five J-2 engines, the second stage; and one J-2 engine, the third stage. The thrust of the first-stage engines alone will be equivalent to 160 million horsepower. Both of these engines, the F-1 and the J-2, were designed at, and are currently being produced by Rocketdyne." -

"Saturn base heating review."
The Saturn I booster which is powered by a cluster of eight rocket engines has been successfully flown on four successive flights. The early success of this large launch vehicle is a strong indication of the soundness of its base heating program. This paper summarizes the thinking that went into the design of our base configuration. Flight test results indicate that pressures, temperatures and heating rates were generally as expected. New techniques have been investigated for generating design data. It has been found experimentally that pressure and thermal fields establish themselves in one to three milliseconds and that data from the "short duration" technique compare favorably with "long duration" type tests. As a result, the new "short duration" technique has become the standard for generating design data for the Saturn vehicle. -
"Saturn IB SA-217 reference launch vehicle."
This document contains a definition of a reference Saturn IB launch vehicle designated SA-217. The Saturn IB SA-217 is a projected reference vehicle, based on Saturn IB SA-212, incorporating the latest proposed product improvements. The two-stage payload capability of this vehicle to a 100-nautical-mile circular orbit is 44,965 pounds. The Saturn IB SA-217 launch vehicle is to be used as the baseline vehicle for advanced studies requiring the use of the standard or modified Saturn IB launch vehicle. This vehicle definition does not necessarily represent approved changes to any specific vehicle. This document supersedes the Saturn IB SA-213 reference Launch Vehicle, described in memorandum R-P&VE-DIR-65-92. -
"Saturn S-IVB quarterly technical progress report."
Douglas Aircraft Company Report DAC-56445, Saturn S-IVB Quarterly Technical Progress Report, covers design and development progress on the Saturn IB and Saturn V configurations of the S-IVB stage during August and September 1966. This report is prepared for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration under Contract NAS7-101. -
"S-IVB Saturn high energy upper stage and its development."
The development of carrier rockets For manned space missions has been one of the major activities in the aerospace field during the past decade. The early space efforts were made possible by the existence of large ballistics missiles. It soon became obvious that the delivery of weapons and the launch of large spacecraft could not be combined into one operational system in an efficient way; therefore, a family of spacecraft boosters had to be created. -

"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. -
