"Memorandum : AAP experiment assignments - Case 600-1."
This memorandum reports the results of an effort to organize and update experiment assignments for inclusion in the AAP Flight Mission Assignments Document. Experiment assignment lists are included which indicate the following: 1) Original experiment assignments to the Orbital Workshop and ATM missions - AAP-1 through AAP-4; 2) Mission AAP-1A experiment assignments and the resulting unloading of experiments from AAP-1 through AAP-4; 3) Proposed assignments for inclusion in the draft FMAD; 4) Current status of the AAP experiment assignments.; X67-36860.; NASA TR - 85723. -
Booster instrumentation for static firing.
The document is an Instrument Society of America Symposium Preprint of the "Booster Instrumentation for Static Firing" by Marin A. Ferrario. "Booster Instrumentation for Static Firing" was included in the 10th National Aerospace Instrumentation Symposium which occured from May 4th - 6th at the Hotel Biltmore in New York, NY. -
"Saturn V vehicle electronics."
This presentation is a review of the electrical and electronics systems of the Saturn V launch vehicle. Since airborne and ground electronics cannot be separated as a system, this presentation will touch upon both the airborne and ground checkout equipment. Certain airborne electronic items are singled out in order to elaborate upon the application of computers for checkout and launch. This review covered in a broad sense such airborne electronics as the control computer, the measuring telemetry and RF systems, the switch selector, the digital command receiver and the remote automatic calibration system. The ground support equipment electronics covered include such equipment as the data link, computer system and display systems. The importance of software in the Saturn V program is stressed by the application of a standard program language through the use of acceptance test or launch language (ATOLL). -

"Interface Problems in Space Experimentation."
Space experimentation is expanding rapidly. Unmanned satellites are being equipped with precision instruments of greater power, and manned space stations accommodating large crews are in the drawing-board stage. The interface problems between these sophisticated instruments and between man, the spacecraft, and the supporting groundstations are multidimensional. This paper analyzes the scientific/technical areas of space experimentation, and continues with a review of the subsystems and support systems required to supply and operate the large variety of instruments. Areas of major integration efforts are singled out and the requirements for further developments and improvements are listed. A bibliography of 95 references is enclosed to assist in the identification of more detailed reports on all vital aspects of space experimentation.; Archive copy is a photocopy.; Supplement to IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems, Vol. AES-2, No. 4, July, 1966. Pages 237 to 255. -

"Bendix: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow."
This history has been abstracted from the text of a speech given by Mr. A. P. Fontaine, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, The Bendix Corporation to the Newcomen Society of North American on December 8, 1966. This Newcomen address was delivered at the "1966 Michigan Dinner" of the society held at Detroit, Michigan when Mr. Fontaine was the guest of honor. Portions of Mr. Fontaine's talk relative to the Baltimore Divisions and Bendix Field Engineering were amplified locally to provide more historical detail concerning those organizations.; Stapled to this brochure is a letter to Mr. David L. Christensen, Documentation Coordinator, Saturn History Program, University of Alabama, Huntsville from Paul R. Leatherwood, Jr., Director, Public Relations, Bendix Field Engineering Corporation dated August 26, 1969. -
