  • Press Release : S-IC simulator--Immediate release.

    Huntsville, Ala. -- NASA Marshall Space Flight Center engineers and scientists will soon begin using a giant Saturn V booster simulator in making various tests of equipment and facilities here and at Michoud Operations, Mississippi Test Operations and Cape Kennedy.
  • "Apollo countdown begins on Monday."

    News article detailing the interest around the liftoff of the Apollo 8 spacecraft.
  • "Saturn V S-IC stage engine gimbal actuation system."

    The actuation system for the Saturn V S-IC stage is described and compared to the Saturn I system. The use of mechanical feedback actuators that result in a significant increase in system reliability and the damping of load resonance is discussed. The unprecedented component sizes and system requirements are cited.
  • "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).
  • "L-UT/Armb tower in pad position."

    illustration of the L-UT/Armb umbilical tower
  • "Saturn S-IV first firing."

    Press release detailing the firing of the Saturn S-IV in California.
  • "Saturn V specification index."

    The purpose of the'saturn V Specification Index is to provide the official detailed record of all specifications and specification changes required for configuration management of the Saturn V Program and to report specification submittal and approval status.
  • "Saturn ST-124-M inertial guidance platform."

    a press release which focuses around the Apollo 9 flight and what role the ST-124-M inertial guidance platform has in it.
  • "Saturn television system for SA-6."

    The Saturn television system is an instrumentation device intended to provide visual information on vehicle performance in real time. The system covers the entire problem from the original image presented to the television camera to the presentation of the finished photographs for analyses.
  • "Saturn V derivatives."

    This paper desciibes an evolutionary family concept of !h turn V derivative launch vehicle systems, discusses their performance capabilities, and outlines their ability to perform orbital and hlgh-energy missions at minimum total program cost.
  • "Saturn V first stage annual progress report : fiscal year 1966."

    This report is the consolidation of D5-11994, "Quarterly Technical Progress Report," for the fourth fiscal quarter and the fiscal year 1966 Annual Progress Report and places special emphasis on activities on the fourth fiscal quarter.
  • "Saturn V ground winds program."

    The concept on Saturn V was to "budget" an amount for the dynamic portion of the wind load as a factor on the steady state drag. Wind tunnel tests paralleled the development and fabrication phases. The results indicated that the system was unable to withstand the design winds; thus, a decision was made to implement a viscous damper "fix" on the facility vehicle at the Kennedy Space Center. Damping tests in the Vertical Assembly Building (VAB) will have been completed and response tests on the pad will be in progress at the time of this symposium. This paper will present the history and status of this program to date.
