"A Description of the ST 124-M Inertial Stabilized Platform and its Application to the Saturn V Launch Vehicle."
This report is a description of the ST124-M inertial stabilized platform system and its application to the Saturn V launch vehicle. It is a summary report providing the system concept and not a theoretical presentation. Mathematical equations were included only where necessary to describe the equipment; however, the detail derivations supporting these equations were not presented since this was not the theme of the paper. -
"Design Concepts of Ground DDAS in Saturn 1B/V ESE."
In the Saturn IB/V programs the sheer quantity of data required for computer processing and ESE display makes it necessary to provide an efficient data acquisition system. For much of the data originating in the launcher this requirement is satisfied by the Ground Digital Data Acquisition System (DDAS). This paper provides a technical description of the Ground DDAS with emphasis placed on the unique design concepts of this telemetry system. -
"Saturn Vehicle Cryogenic Programs."
Paper from the 1965 Cryogenic Engineering Conference at Rice University, Houston, Texas, paper K-4. The abstract states, "This paper covers the cryogenic propellant and gaseous application to the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center Saturn Programs. Emphasis is placed on the overall application and the resultant logistic considerations. The planning of facilities, storage, and transportation required to ensure an adequate supply of cryogenic fluids when needed is traced from the engine and stage requirements. The entire cycle of technical requirements, estimating the quantities required from production and management of the program is developed, spacecraft application and other trends that affect cryogenic production are reviewed." -
"Effects of High-Pressure Hydrogen on Steels."
Hydrogen embrittlement of steels is hardly a new subject, but the effects of high-pressure hydrogen have been treated in detail only more recently and to a much more limited extent. Thus, most investigations of hydrogen embrittlement have been concerned with hydrogen in metals, while for the high-pressure hydrogen problem, we are more concerned with metals in(in contact with) hydrogen. I believe there is a difference and, certainly,different mechanisms of embrittlement are at least possible.; Presented at the Central Florid Section, American Welding Society, Orlando, Florida, 14 November 1967 and North Alabama Chapter, American Society for Metals, Huntsville, Alabama, 16 November 1967. -

"Dynamic Loads of a Launch Vehicle Due to Inflight Winds."
Analysis of the stability and dynamic load environment of a launch vehicle resulting from atmospheric disturbances is a very complex problem. To determine the dynamic load environment of the vehicle requires an adequate description of the wind field, vehicle dynamics and control system. The essential of such a study, namely methods of analysis, wind field specification and representative vehicle response parameters for evaluation, are of equal importance. This paper is concerned with the mathematical foundations of the vehicle model and method of analysis. -
"Dynamic Environments of the S-IV and S-IVB Saturn Vehicles."
The vibration and acoustic environments of the S-IV and S-IVB Stages of the Saturn vehicle are summarized. A brief review of techniques used to predict the dynamic environments of the S-IV and S-IVB vehicles is presented. This review includes discussions on the prediction of rocket exhaust noise, boundary layer noise, sinusoidal vibrations, and random vibrations for the S-IV and S-IVB vehicles. In addition, sine-random vibration conversions are given. -

"First Annual Logistics Management Symposium: September 13 and 14, 1966."
The proceedings of the First Annual Logistics Management Symposium are forwarded with the hope that the information will be of assistance to attendees and their staffs in the planning and management of logistics support programs. I recognize that there is still much study required before all management techniques and procedures for support programs are known and understood, but I believe that support problems are made easier by exchange of knowledge. The Symposium was based on this belief and we plan to continue the search for ways to achieve better program support at a lower cost. Edmund F. O'Connor, Director, Industrial Operations. -
