  • "Reliability and quality management."

    The role of Reliability and Quality in NASA program management is well defined by the NPC 200 series and complimentary procurement regulations.
  • "Reliability assessment of liquid rocket engines."

    Proposed for the 10th National Symposium on Reliability & Quality Control. This paper will deal with various techniques of treatment of such data and associated graphic displays.
  • "Reliability engineering program provisions for Space System contractors. Revision 2."

    This document was cited in the Saturn contracts before NPC-250-1 was written. The sense of this document is the backbone of NASA reliability today and has become a generally accepted element of engineering rationale.
  • "Reliability prediction in design decision."

    This paper presents some case histories in which reliability prediction plays an important role.
  • "Report From Mississippi."

    Report detailing the progress NASA's Mississippi test facility has made testing the Apollo-Saturn rocket.
  • "Report of Ad Hoc panel on Man-in-Space."

    It is the purpose of this report to clarify the goals, the missions and the costs of this effort in the forseeable future, particularly with regard to the man-in-space program
  • "Report on the Saturn-Apollo program."

    Presented to ACHEMA Congress and European Meeting of Chemical Engineering 1967, Frankfurt, Germany, June 21, 1967 by Dr. Eberhard Rees.; Includes slide numbers.
  • "Report to Mr. Sohier from Dr. Emme."

    Report detailing dates of Dr. Akens Marshall meetings with President Kennedy.
  • "Report to the administrator, NASA on the Saturn development plan."

    In anticipation of this transfer, the NASA and Department of Defense have established, an interim working agreement that provides for immediate assumption by NASA of responsibilities fortechnical management of the Saturn vehicle development.
  • "Report to the Congress from the President of the United States"

    A report to Congress from White House regarding the accomplishments of NASA.
  • "Repository index of engineering reports and procedures."

    This index is an inventory of engineering reports and procedures available in Repository files. The Repository files contain various headquarters, MSFC, MSC, KSC and contractor prepared documents related to the overall MSFC, Apollo Program Requirements. V.C. Sorensen, Chief Management Services Office.; Published quarterly with monthly supplements by: Document Repository Branch; Management Services Office; Marshall Space Flight Center.
  • "Request for approval to man the Apollo Saturn V Vehicle."

    The purpose of this memorandum is to obtaln your approval to fly manned missions on the Saturn V launch vehicle beginning with Apollo-Saturn vehicle #503 currently scheduled for launch in December 1968.
  • "Research grants and contracts awarded to 25 : NASA news."

    Press-release detailing 27 research grants sent to numerous universities.
  • "Response to any news media queries concerning MSFC S-II stage."

    Letter to answer any incoming questions from the media regarding the MSFC-II stage and any briefed on Seal Beach.
  • "Resume - Werner K. Gengelbach."

    Letter vouching for the expertise and past accomplishments of Werner K. Gengelbach
  • "Rocket engine selection criteria."

    This paper considers many of the factors and criteria which have to be considered and evaluated when selecting a specific rocket engine for a given vehicle application. The lists of criteria can be helpful as checklists in design and systems engineering of a rocket propulsion device. About ten different applications are examined to illustrate the relative importance of some of these selection criteria. There will be groupings of our major types of criteria; namely, performance, operational, economic and so-called judgment criteria. In many cases the last three categories are equally or more important than the performance criteria in selecting one of several rocket engines for a specific application. The actual selection usually is a compromise to make the rocket engine responsive to several important criteria.
  • "Rocket engine turbo pumps for space travel."

    Finding the turbopump arrangement which is best suited for a given rocket engine - space travel applications - constitutes an important task. The arrangement depends upon a large variety of different factors, such as, the engine cycle, weight, the liquids to be pumped, the cavitation performance, the bearings and their lubrication, the seals and the turbine. In this report these factors and their influence on the turbopump configuration are discussed. It is shown that three of them: weight, propellants to be pumped and obtainable suction performance have the largest influence on the selection of the turbopump. A systematic approach is outlines for the design process, which allows to arrive at a turbopump arrangement best suited for a given application.
  • "Rocket exhaust effects on radio frequency transmission."

    Presented by Olen P. Ely, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Alabama and R. W. Hockenberger, International Business Machines. Paper that explores the effects of rocket-engine exhaust on radio-signals.
  • "Rocket motor" material list photograph.

    8 x 10 inch black and white photograph of a rocket motor material list. The weight of the material is measured in pounds.
  • "S-IC heat shield illustration."

    The drawing gives information about the honeycomb and edge rolled construction of a heat-shield plate.
