"Decision Procedure for Minimizing Costs of Calibrating Liquid Rocket Engines."

Prior to acceptance of a liquid rocket engine for use in Saturn vehicles, the average thrust of two consecutive tests without an intervening calibration must satisfy specification requirements. The contractor may recalibrate after the first and subsequent tests if he so chooses, based upon decision limits, until the above requirement is met.

"Digital Simulation of an Aerospace Vehicle."

The rapid development of computer technology and the creation of new engineering oriented languages has established that general purpose digital computers are now extremely suitable to perform simulation of large scale physical systems. With Aerospace Vehicle Simulation (AVS), an effort has been undertaken at MSFC to simulate continuous and discrete dynamics of an aerospace vehicle and its ground support equipment on a large digital computer. This simulation produces a copy of the physical vehicle configuration and its functions in the form of a large scale mathematical model in the computer. AVS will be an essential part of an integrated information system which can be used by several laboratories and offices at MSFC for the design, checkout, test, and management of aerospace vehicles.
