  "Saturn Apollo guidance error estimation."

  A brief sketch of the development of the equations for a weighted least squares estimator is given, the equations for both collective and recursive estimators being included. Four possible problem sources that may be encountered in the application of the estimator are identified. Various "success" parameters are defined in an attempt to predict the success with which, the method has been applied. The application of the estimation technique to the problem of computing various error parameters associated with the ST-124M guidance platform is described with the numerical results obtained using a manufactured data case are presented. These results are used to form conclusions about the effectiveness of the "success" parameters and preferred approaches to the problem of system evaluation using techniques of estimation theory.

  "Saturn base heating review."

  The Saturn I booster which is powered by a cluster of eight rocket engines has been successfully flown on four successive flights. The early success of this large launch vehicle is a strong indication of the soundness of its base heating program. This paper summarizes the thinking that went into the design of our base configuration. Flight test results indicate that pressures, temperatures and heating rates were generally as expected. New techniques have been investigated for generating design data. It has been found experimentally that pressure and thermal fields establish themselves in one to three milliseconds and that data from the "short duration" technique compare favorably with "long duration" type tests. As a result, the new "short duration" technique has become the standard for generating design data for the Saturn vehicle.
