  "Telemetry system design for Saturn vehicles."

  This paper discusses the data system requirements for large space vehicles and describes a flexible telemetry system design which is used on all stages of the Saturn IB and Saturn V vehicles. The basic vehicle telemetry design provides standard assembly building blocks forming a versatile catalogue of parts from which a stage telemetry subsystem may be assembled to meet almost any conceivable monitoring requirement. In addition to its inflight monitoring function, the telemetry subsystem also provides real time data acquisition for automatic vehicle checkout.

  "A new telemetry technique."

  A technique new to telemetry is discussed which promises to alleviate an enigma facing the telemetry engineer : How to adequately transmit the avalanche of vibration and other wideband data desired in the development phase of large missiles and launch vehicles. The data channels are stacked in the frequency spectrum as single sideband subcarriers which frequency modulate the RF carrier. The system design utilizes to advantage the statistical properties of vibration data to achieve maximum data transmission efficiency from the available RF carrier deviation. However, in contrast to proposed statistical predigestion techniques, the data is transmitted in raw form.

  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."
