"Letter to Mr. David L. Christensen, Research Associate."
Letter to Mr. David L. Christensen from Helmut J. Horn regarding the reports he requested. -
"The Iterative Guidance Law for Saturn."
Summary: "Based on Lawden's equation, semi-explicit,'iterative' Saturn guidance equations are derived, many were successfully flight tested on Saturn I and analyzed for the main Apollo mission and other applications applications." -
"An Iterative Guidance Scheme and Its Application to Lunar Landing."
A guidance scheme for vehicle flight from lunar orbit to a prescribed point on a spherical, non-rotating moon is presented. The equations of motion have been simplified only to perm it a closed solution for the thrust magnitude and thrust direction. The trajectory computations them selves are made under more realistic and accurate assumptions and are not included. -

"Letter to Professor John Logsdon."
Letter to Professor Logsdon from Donald F. Hornig granting Logsdon's request PSAC Men-In-Space panel report. -
"Thermal models of Jupiter and Saturn"
One of the orange Aid Preprint Series in Nuclear Astrophysics by W. B. Hubbard, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California.; Argues that the Saturnian models are flawed as their predictions do not line up with detected gravitational events. -
"Saturn television system for SA-6."
The Saturn television system is an instrumentation device intended to provide visual information on vehicle performance in real time. The system covers the entire problem from the original image presented to the television camera to the presentation of the finished photographs for analyses. -
"IU/S-IVB Forward Skirt Orbital and Translunar Thermal Analyses."
This report determines the maximum and minimum solar and terrestrial thermal energy incident and absorbed by Saturn IB/V vehicles in earth orbit and translunar travel. The influence' of this external energy on the Instrument Unit Thermal Conditioning System performance, and consequently its adequacy to maintain the electronic packages at acceptable temperature limits is ascertained. Conclusions are: a) Methanol/water coolant temperature will deviate from 111 specifications only during translunar cold flights. However, adequate thermal conditioning of the electronic equipment would still be maintained. b) Instrument Unit missions exceeding 6 1/2 hours, or electronic packages heat dissipation magnitudes lower than 3 kw or higher than 8.5 kw, should be reviewed to ascertain thermal compatibility.
