  • survpropprob_060607132313.pdf

    Incomplete document. Displays errors in space-vehicle design as they relate to space travel.
  • Systappl_122007135157.pdf

    The objective is to examine the technical requirements and feasibility of conducting orbital launch operations with systems now in the development phase. In order to maintain realistic constraints on the analysis, the Saturn S-IVB stage has been used as an example of present stage technology. The requirements, procedures and complexity of operations for orbital assembly and launch are discussed. The primary design requirement for orbital assembly and launch operations is increased orbital stay time (from hours to days or weeks).
  • systdescforsatuvehicle_030807135800.pdf

    Missing pages iv, 3, 6 to 8. Photocopy of files containing sections of the project.
  • systengrprop.pdf

    Page numbering is inconsistent; there are no pages numbered 14 - 17. Some pages have handwritten numbers, others have no numbers at all.; The print quality of many pages is poor. Discusses the definition and function of propulsion as well as how to most effectively employ it .
  • systrainman_071707122502.pdf

    Prepared through joint efforts of Personnel Department, Education and Development Branch, Systems Training Unit, Michoud Operations and Engineering Communications Department, Technical Information Branch, Applied Communications Engineering Section, Huntsville Operations.; This publication presents a brief descriptive summary of the Saturn IB vehicle and Chrysler's Corporation's accomplishments in the missiles and space field. The Saturn IB information presented herein is based on current plans for each of the stages. Although there may be design changes from vehicle to vehicle, the basic components, systems, and operating principles will remain similar to previous models.
  • Systsafehand_022008152101.pdf

    The testing of a hardware system consists of' subjecting it to carefully controlled operating conditions for the purpose of demonstrating that this system performs its function properly.

  • techfaci&equi.pdf

    This document portrays the capability of technical facilities and equipment at the George C, Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) , one of three basic field centers under the NASA Office of Manned Space Flight.
  • techimpllaunautom_072707115336.pdf

    This paper identifies the methods and equipment through which automation is becoming a major factor in testing and launching Saturn IB space vehicles. The merits of a digital guidance computer and its impact in extending automated checkout are stressed; also a logical basis is established for computer and manual test control. Hardware and software elements of the automated system are described, and details pertaining to reliability are emphasized. A concluding appraisal suggests that automation will play an expanding role in future test and launch operations.
