  • "A 'Zero Stage' for the Saturn IB Launch Vehicle."

    To meet the demands of increasing payload size and weight, and to fill the large payload gap between the Saturn IB and Saturn V, a number of methods of uprating the Saturn IB have been studied by NASA and Chrysler Corp. of providing increased payload capability is discussed in this paper. Four 120 in. United Technology Center UA-1205 solid propellant motors, originally developed for the Air Force Titan III program, are clustered around the S-IB first stage of the Saturn IB launch vehicle. These four solid propellant motors provide the total thrust for liftoff of the vehicle, with S-IB stage ignition occurring just prior to burn-out and separation of the solid propellant motors. The term "Zero Stage" is applied to this added stage.

  • "Techniques of implementing launch automation programs" (Saturn IB space vehicle system).

    This paper identifies the methods and equipment through which automation is becoming a major factor in testing and launching Saturn IB space vehicles. The merits of a digital guidance computer and its impact in extending automated checkout are stressed; also a logical basis is established for computer and manual test control. Hardware and software elements of the automated system are described, and details pertaining to reliability are emphasized. A concluding appraisal suggests that automation will play an expanding role in future test and launch operations.

  • "Saturn IB SA-217 reference launch vehicle."

    This document contains a definition of a reference Saturn IB launch vehicle designated SA-217. The Saturn IB SA-217 is a projected reference vehicle, based on Saturn IB SA-212, incorporating the latest proposed product improvements. The two-stage payload capability of this vehicle to a 100-nautical-mile circular orbit is 44,965 pounds. The Saturn IB SA-217 launch vehicle is to be used as the baseline vehicle for advanced studies requiring the use of the standard or modified Saturn IB launch vehicle. This vehicle definition does not necessarily represent approved changes to any specific vehicle. This document supersedes the Saturn IB SA-213 reference Launch Vehicle, described in memorandum R-P&VE-DIR-65-92.
  • "Saturn IB ESE interlock system."

    The results of an OMSF AS-201 Interlock and RCA 110A Computer Review were published. Recognizing that this was a "quick look", it was determined that a more detailed approach should be taken with respect to interlocks for the duration of the Saturn IB-V program.
