  • "New Liftoff date only change in Apollo 10 mission."

    News article detailing the slight change in schedule regarding the Apollo 10 lunar module's take-off from the Moon and its return to Earth.
  • "News from Rocketdyne : Project Saturn."

    Press release exploring the rockets and projects of the Saturn project.
  • "News release : Liquid Hydrogen."

    Press release covering the nature and use of liquid hydrogen
  • "Next stop : the moon."

    Release describing the launch of the Apollo 11.
  • "NEXUS concept of a large reusable earth launch vehicle."

    Aspects of Earth-to-orbit delivery are discussed and a cost analysis of the logistic operation and the cost of orbital operations are presented. Probabilities of success of orbital delivery and the operational and economic aspects of establishing large orbital installations and maintaining a large transportation volume in the 1975/85 time period are compared for the two cases using a large number of Saturn V versus a smaller number of 1-stage chemical Post-Saturn launch vehicles. Performance parameters of chemical, chemonuclear and nuclear launch vehicles are compared. The concept of a blunt launch vehicle configuration referred to as NEXUS is presented in detail. Applications of this configuration to chemonuclear propulsion and to a 50 ft diameter version of Saturn V with recoverable first stage are discussed.
  • "Noise reduction study in a scaled model acoustic test facility."

    The acoustic properties of five insulation materials were investigated in a 1/10- scale model acoustic facility. The materials were designed for applications in space vehicles. The model facility, consisting of a reverberation chamber coupled to an anechoic chamber, was evaluated for its use in noise reduction testing. It was found that a reasonably diffuse sound field existed above 900 Hertz. Modal density graphs of the reverberation chamber and spatial acoustic gradients measured within the chamber and across the test panel opening are compared to an idealized facility.; Prepared for the 75th Meeting of the Acoustical Society of America,Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. May 21 - 24, 1968.
  • "Nondestructive testing of space vehicle liquid propellant rocket engines."

    Presented at the Western Metals Congress, Los Angeles, California, 15 March 1967.; Archive copy is a photocopy.; ABSTRACT: This report describes the various nondestructive test methods employed to evaluate materials and processes used in the manufacture of large liquid propellant rocket engines at the Rocketdyne Division of North American Aviation, Inc. The contents of the paper were purposely oriented for an audience of aerospace, design and materials engineers. A brief description of liquid propellant rocket engine reliability is presented. The relationship of standards and specifications to nondestructive testing is discussed and various test methods are described along with a discussion of their applications and limitations. The sequence of events leading up to the use of nondestructive testing in production inspection is presented. Finally, the organization of labor directly related to nondestructive testing is given.
