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.
Presented at Safety Engineering of Missile/Space Systems, 53rd Air Force - Industry Conference, detailing potential safety issues within the Atlas weapon system.
This paper summarizes work conducted under a recent NASA study contract and Boeing studies on improved Saturn V vehicles and intermediate payload Saturn vehicles. The contractual study was a part of a continuing effort by NASA to identify a spectrum of practical launch vehicles to meet potential future payload and mission requirements as they become defined.; UAHuntsville's Saturn V finding aid has the title as: Saturn V Growth and Flexibility, by J.E. Martin.; Preferred Citation: [Identification of item] Saturn V Collection, Dept. of Archives/Special Collections, M. Louis Salmon Library, University of Alabama in Huntsville, Huntsville, AL.
