  • Visual aids library slide guide.

    This document includes revisions. There are missing pages from page 237-238. This reference document catalogues all MSFC oriented visual aids filed in the Visual Aids Library of Marshall Space Flight Center. These visual aids are updated by the Graphic Engineering & Models Branch, Industrial Operations Program Management Information Office, and the Research and Development Operations Management Office. The purpose of the Visual Aids Library is to provide management data visuals in the form of slides (3 X 4 and 2 X 2), or black and white prints, to MSFC offices and laboratories, and other centers, who have a valid requirement. The visual aids are issued on a loan basis in order to obtain as wide a use for each visual and to assure that the latest revisions are incorporated in the issued item. Visuals may be ordered from the Visual Aids Library, located on the 10th floor of building 4200 (Phone 876-7237, 876-6960, 876-0983). In addition to the visuals published in this book, photographs from prime contractors are available from Industrial Operations, Program Management Information Office, Room 621, building 4201. Visuals with erroneous or obsolete information should be brought to the attention of the Visual Aids Library, preferably in writing, so that corrections can be made immediately. This publication will be kept current through distribution of pages of new visuals and notification will be made on obsolete visuals so they may be crossed out in the catalogue. Comments and suggestions concerning this publication will be greatly appreciated. Changes in the distribution lists should be directed to Mr. Gordon 0. Willhite, or Mrs. Opal Tabor, Visual Aids Library, MS-G.

  • Theoretical liquid propellant performance calculations

    Archive copy is a photocopy.; The purpose of these writings is to compile in one volume the basic elements of thermodynamics and gas dynamics which are useful in the evaluation of thrust chamber performance. It is presumed that the reader will have had an elementary course in thermodynamics and gas dynamics. The discussion of topics useful in evaluating thrust chamber performance is, of necessity, limited to these physical effects amenable to other areas that are as yet in the research stage of development. The author would like to take this opportunity to express his gratitude to Mr. G. S. Gill for many stimulating discussions on this subject. Thanks are due to Mr. D. J. Kuyper for permission to utilize his discussion on elastic-plastic strain and its application to nozzle throat area change. Finally, the author wishes to express his gratitude to his wife, Alice, who typed the bulk of the manuscript.

  • Survey of Automatic Checkout Systems for Saturn V Stages.

    The Abstract states "The four checkout systems developed and utilized by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for acceptance checkout of the Saturn V launch vehicle stages and instrument unit are described. The vehicle's characteristics, test policies, equipment design criteria, and operational factors are reviewed. Following a general description of each checkout system, this paper presents a brief definitive description of each major subsystem test station. These test systems are used for post-manufacturing and post-static firing acceptance checkout. The section related to the S-II stage includes several representative flow diagrams and descriptions of automatic tests. To present in detail the large volume of information describing these four checkout systems would require the writing of four papers."
