  • "Digest of FY-66 Funded Advanced Studies: November 1966."

    This publication is one of a planned series to summarize the advanced study program for each fiscal year beginning with FY-61.A separate report will cover the study program for each fiscal year. The purpose of these documents is to provide reference information which should be helpful in planning future study programs. The FY-65 funded studies are covered in this document. These investigations are covered under four major headings: Launch Vehicle Studies, Earth Orbital and Lunar Studies, Planetary/Nuclear Studies, and AAP Studies. The information presented on each studyincludes a brief description of the objectives and pertinent contract data.
  • "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.
  • "Digital Transducers."

    This paper outlines the major advantages of digital transducers and describes the principles and features (1) direct digital transducers, (2) indirect digital transducers, (3) quasi-digital transducers, and (4) A to D transducers.
  • "Dix ans D'exploration Spatiale."

    A series of french articles related to the space program.
  • "Documentation List for Saturn Stages S-11."

    The information presented in this document represents a listing of all formal documentation prepared under contract NAS7-200. The listing has been arranged under major categories as specific in SID 61-366A, reissued 10 August 1964. Within each categorization , the reports and specifications have been listed in numerical sequence.
  • "Documentation Repository."

    This brochure describes, for the benefit of documentation users, the services and materials that are available from the Documentation Repository. The present operations of the Repository are illustrated to provide a comprehensive picture of work flow, time scheduling and product output.
  • "Douglas Aircraft Company Press release."

    Press release covering the static firing of the S-IV rocket for a full seven minutes.
  • "Dr. George Mueller: The Man Behind Manned."

    G. E. Challenge. Article written about George Mueller, NASA Associate Administrator for Manned Space Flight.
  • "Dr. von Braun/NASA HQ correspondence: July 1968."

    This contains a two page list of the correspondence which is scanned separately. It includes the date and a brief description of the correspondence.
  • "Draft Script for Saturn I/IB Quarterly Film Report No. 25 (Covering July, August, September, 1965)."

    Draft script for quarterly report: July through September, 1965.
  • "Draft script Saturn I/IB quarterly film report no. 25."

    MSFC routing slip to Mr. Lee Cropp concerning the draft copy. Contains hand-written editing suggestions, as well as a note that even if these suggestions are applied, that does not imply approval of the script for use. Covers July, August and September, 1965.
  • "Drawing number assignment"

    The document is a photocopy of the Drawing Number Assignments from August 1947 to May 1953. Categories include but are not limited to the drawing number, title, designer, and date finished. Inscribed on the front is "original book property of Jay Laue, MSFC."
  • "Dual ceremonies honor astronauts of Apollo 9."

    A news article detailing the 'welcome back' ceremony for the nine astronauts who had just returned from a 10-day mission.
  • "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.
  • "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 Problems in Launch Vehicles and Spacecraft."

    Addresses improving spacecraft safety by resolving various known dynamic problems.
  • "Earth Orbital Workshop Capabilities Brochure."

    A brochure designed to depict a competence and capability in the area of large earth-orbital workshops.
  • "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.
