"The Influence of Apollo/Saturn V Launch Operations on Lunar Site Selection: Case 330."

"The impact of manufacturing on design as related to accessibility."
The purpose of this paper is to emphasize the need for accessibility in the assembly and maintenance of spacecraft. This is especially pertinent because accessibility to subsystems for replacement, repair, and maintenance has proven to be one of the more costly phases of preflight preparation. The most successful programs in this day and age have been when the design and manufacturing engineers work side by side around a mockup where solutions to the problems can be visually seen and solved, keeping in mind the assembly as related to accessibility. Therefore, it will be shown that in order to overcome the difficulties, designers should adapt a hard, fast ground rule that each unit must be accessible and individually removable without disturbing the other units.; Aeronautic and Space Engineering and Manufacturing Meeting, Los Angeles, Calif. Oct. 7 - 11, 1968. -

"The development of the Saturn system safety program."
This paper describes the major highlights or milestones passed in the development of a System Safety Program at MSFC since early 1967. it discusses accomplishments, problems resolved, and decisions made for Apollo Saturn vehicles AS-501 and AS-502, and projects that are to be accomplished on future Saturn vehicles. -
"The Development of Servovalves with Improved Reliability for Space Vehicles."
Considerations for improvement in the reliability of the Saturn engine gimbal servosystems are briefly covered. The Saturn I servovalves operate with increased electrical input power. The Saturn V vehicle stages will use mechanical feedback actuators with increased electrical input power, larger orifices and nozzle sizes, larger torque motor wire size, and greater spool driving forces. -
"The development of a checkout language : ATOLL."
ATOLL was developed to fulfill the requirements for a common computer language that could be used by the test engineers for launch and factory checkout. "ATOLL" is the abbreviated name for Acceptance, Test, Or Launch Language. -
"The development of a bonded common bulkhead for Saturn."
A Part of the development of the Saturn S-IV/S-IVB stage the Douglas Aircraft Company has pioneered in the development of the cryogenic common bulkhead. The term common bulkhead is derived from the design function of the bulkhead, which is to separate the two cryogenics, liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, in a single tank, thereby shortening the stage and eliminating the necessity for two separate bulkheads and the associated interstage structure. The common bulkhead is structurally adequate to withstand both the thermal and the pressure loads from both the hydrogen and the oxygen tanks, and it has sufficient insulation properties to prevent the liquid hydrogen from freezing the liquid oxygen. Another benefit from the common bulkhead is that it permits a reduction in the total length of the vehicle, thereby reducing the bending moments. -

"The Challenge of Change vs the Control of the Process."
The introduction states, "This paper is designed to present the Rocketdyne engine program as it applies to the Saturn launch vehicles and will apply to the Apollo program of manned flight to the moon (Fig. 1). The vehicle that will launch this flight is the Saturn V, the largest and most powerful of the Saturn family. This vehicle, 362 feet tall and 33 feet in diameter, will be capable of sending a 45-ton payload to the moon or placing a 120-ton payload in earth orbit. Five F-1 engines power the first stage of the Saturn V; five J-2 engines, the second stage; and one J-2 engine, the third stage. The thrust of the first-stage engines alone will be equivalent to 160 million horsepower. Both of these engines, the F-1 and the J-2, were designed at, and are currently being produced by Rocketdyne." -
"The Case for Compatibility."
"The Case for Compatibility" is a paper by Robert L. Smith, Jr., who worked in Quality and Reliability Assurance Laboratory at George C. Marshall Space Flight Center. The summary states, "Ever since the use of missiles and space launch vehicles began, questions have existed in every program regarding the similarity between upstream (e.g., manufacturing, static firing ) and launch site checkout equipment. Programs have existed which utilized nearly identical equipment for both uses; other programs have existed in which any resemblance of the equipment was probably coincidental. Many factors have entered the final decisions, not the least of which were economic and schedule considerations, and, in some instances, the organizational structure of the developer." -

"Test procedure validation by computer simulation."
Digital computer simulation of the Saturn I Instrument Unit electrical networks was accomplished using the Discrete Network Simulation programs. The schematics were analyzed and a logic model prepared which consisted of a series of Boolean equations. The test procedures, which are written in the Acceptance, Test, or Launch Language (ATOLL), consist of a sequential set of computer instructions for the RCA llOA checkout computer to control the operation of the electrical networks. The procedures also contain the predicted results for each operation. The driving functions for the simulation of the model are generated from the ATOLL test tape by the Input Generator Program. The time sequenced operation of the networks is indicatedby the output from the simulation program in addition to the number of times each component in the system changes state. The results of the simulation are compared to the test procedure predictions on the ATOLL tape by the Comparator Program and any differences are listed. The Comparator Program also lists any component which did not change state at least once. -
