  • "Space flight projects - today and tomorrow."

    NASA symposium on scientific and technical Information.
  • "Meteoroid measurements with Project Pegasus."

    Presentation at the Northeast Electronics Research and Engineering Meeting, Boston, Massachusetts, November 4, 1965. Ernest Stuhlinger, Director, Research Projects Laboratory, George C. Marshall Space Flight Center (NASA), Huntsville, Alabama.; INTRODUCTION: The prime objective of Project Pegasus is to measure, in the vicinity of the earth, the meteoroid penetration frequency in aluminum sheets of thicknesses which approach those of space capsule walls. Plans for the project were initiated at NASA in 1962 by the Office of Advanced Research and Technology and the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center. Throughout the project, members of the Langley Research Centers supported the project with experiments and advice.
  • "Letter to Dr. Keith T. Glennan."

    Letter to Kieth T. Glennan from Ernst Stuhlinger regarding a potential meeting between Glennan, Wernher von Braun Horner and Ernst himself. Attached is a required resume.
  • "Army Participation in the National Satellite and Space Program."

    This paper, which was presented at a Semi-Annual Meeting of the American Rocket Society, traces the role of the United States Army in national space activities. Incorporated in the report are photographs illustrating the evolution of the satellite and space program.
  • "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.
  • "Saturn technical information handbook. Volume III of four volumes : SA-203."

    The "Saturn Technical Information Handbook" provides up-to-date reference material to the Launch Operations Center personnel. This material shows the assembly and operation of the Saturn Vehicle components for systems analysis.; Volume II is available on the NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS) as a PDF.
  • "Improving the Uprated Saturn I."

    This paper discusses five improved versions of the Uprated Saturn I that were studied by the Chrysler Corporation Space Division, supported by the Douglas Aircraft Corporation.
  • "Annual progress report :1966-1967."

    The Annual Progress Report from July 1st, 1966 through June 30thm 1967.
  • Volume II Appendices for the Saturn V Derivative Launch Vehicle System Study.

    According to the table of contents, this volume of appendices contain various charts, graphs, and diagrams related to the S-IC stage data, instrument unit data, and vehicle data.
  • Boeing and Apollo 11.

    The phamplet is address to members of the press who are at Cape Kennedy for the Apollo 11 launch. The pamphlet provides information on Boeing's contribution to the Apollo mission.
  • "Master plan for documentation management and use."

    The objective of this study is to describe a comprehensive plan for the development and full utilization of methods and means to be employed in the years prior to 1976 for the effective acquisition, collection, storage, retrieval, distribution, and use of engineering documentation. Because of the violently changing state of the art of data acquisition, storage, and retrieval the description of the plan does not embrace the details of a total decade of phased change. Rather it describes actions that can and should be taken in the relatively near future, and proposes a continuing series of later studies to keep this plan current for the full decade.
  • "Memorandum for record : meeting to review problems with H-1 engines on S-IB-7 and S-IB-8."

    Memorandum to go over problems with the H-1 engine.
  • "The Saturn V mission and Alabama."

    Speech that covers the topics of the Saturn V lunar mission and the basics of a lunar mission in general.
  • "Toftoy statement to Senate Investigation Committee": Development of the Nike system.

    Narrative report of general H.N. Toftoy - Informal interview with Mr. Robert E. Dunne, Assistant Counsel of the Senate Permanent Investigating Subcommittee, in the presence of Mr. P. K. Schaeppi.
  • "The history of Army missile development."

    Published as "Army Missile Development," Army Information Digest, XI. Establishes the development and history of weaponized rocket ordenance.
  • "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.
  • "Communication from the President of the United States transmitting the report of the President's Materials Policy Commission, June 1952."

    Includes bibliographical references.; Original format: paperback book (42 pages); Cover title: Resources for freedom : the outlook of energy resources, volume III. Contains plans and analyses of potential future energy sources.
  • "Orbiting research laboratory/logistics spacecraft checkout requirements study."

    This report presents the results of the study of Orbiting Research Laboratory and Logistic Spacecraft Checkout Requirements as they relate to prelaunch operations at MILA. The study was performed jointly by the Florida Division and the Systems Research and Analysis Division of TRW Space Technology Laboratories for NASA under the terms of contract NAS10-1076.
