Apollo Support Program: Phase 1: Apollo Terminology Standards Final Study Report.

From the abstract: "This report concludes the Phase 1 study activities of the requirements for terminology standardization of the Apollo Integration Support Program. A review is made of the studies conducted and the findings resulting from these activities. Conclusions are drawn and recommendations are made for a proposed Apollo Terminology Handbook. An implementation plan for producing and maintaining an Apollo Terminology Handbook is included. A sample of such a terminology handbook is produced as Part 2 of this report."

Map of completed and proposed Apollo moon landing sites.

The map shows landing locations on the moon's surface, including proposed landing sites of the cancelled Apollo 18 and Apollo 19 missions. This map was created as part of the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) Project.

"Saturn V service arms : preliminary engineering report."

This report presents the manufacturing requirements for fabricating Saturn V service arms and contains design and operating details of the service arms and associated equipment. Part 1 defines the areas of responsibility necessary for the manufacture of Saturn V service arms and associated equipment. Capability requirements, manufacturing processes, special techniques, schedules, and other areas are detailed in Part 1. The manufacturer selected to fabricate the arms and related equipment must meet the requirements (stated in Part 1. Part 2 contains design and operation details of the service arms, Command Module Access Arm, and related equipment used on or in support of the Launcher-Umbilical Tower for the Saturn V Vehicle at Complex 39. The design and construction of all basic arms is similar. Eight service arms are being designed. The arms are being designed to support all umbilical lines necessary to service the various stages of all Saturn V Vehicles. The arms are also being designed to allow personnel access to the vehicle. Some of the arms must be retracted before vehicle lift-off and others will retract following lift-off. This requirement necessitated the design of umbilical disconnect and arm retract devices which would ensure clearance between the arms and vehicle during lift-off. The Command Module Access Arm is a separate design concept. The arm is used only for astronaut access to the Command Module. Part 2 presents the preliminary design directed toward meeting the requirements stated above.

Visual aids library slide guide.

This document includes revisions. There are missing pages from page 237-238. This reference document catalogues all MSFC oriented visual aids filed in the Visual Aids Library of Marshall Space Flight Center. These visual aids are updated by the Graphic Engineering & Models Branch, Industrial Operations Program Management Information Office, and the Research and Development Operations Management Office. The purpose of the Visual Aids Library is to provide management data visuals in the form of slides (3 X 4 and 2 X 2), or black and white prints, to MSFC offices and laboratories, and other centers, who have a valid requirement. The visual aids are issued on a loan basis in order to obtain as wide a use for each visual and to assure that the latest revisions are incorporated in the issued item. Visuals may be ordered from the Visual Aids Library, located on the 10th floor of building 4200 (Phone 876-7237, 876-6960, 876-0983). In addition to the visuals published in this book, photographs from prime contractors are available from Industrial Operations, Program Management Information Office, Room 621, building 4201. Visuals with erroneous or obsolete information should be brought to the attention of the Visual Aids Library, preferably in writing, so that corrections can be made immediately. This publication will be kept current through distribution of pages of new visuals and notification will be made on obsolete visuals so they may be crossed out in the catalogue. Comments and suggestions concerning this publication will be greatly appreciated. Changes in the distribution lists should be directed to Mr. Gordon 0. Willhite, or Mrs. Opal Tabor, Visual Aids Library, MS-G.
