  • "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.
  • "Roof - family room, Klaus on chimney."

    Roofing work continues on the Dannenbergs' new house. In this film, the roof is being built over the family room. Klaus Dannenberg is shown climbing up onto the roof to check it out. Summer/Autumn 1958.
  • "Roofing - carport."

    This film focuses on the roofing work on the Dannenbergs' new house. Shown are workers trimming the eaves of the roof as well as nailing down the weatherproof cover to the top of the roof. Summer/Autumn 1958.
  • "Run Down on Department of Army IG Report."

    Various handwritten notes on the Army missile program and other information pertaining to the case of Colonel John C. Nickerson, Jr.
  • "S-IC heat shield illustration."

    The drawing gives information about the honeycomb and edge rolled construction of a heat-shield plate.
  • "S-IC Saturn booster."

    8 x 10 inch black and white diagram of the Saturn booster engines.
  • "S-IC stage, S-II stage, S-IVB stage, instrument unit drawing."

    8 x 10 inch black and white photograph.; Image includes dimensions and labels of exterior features of the rocket.
  • "S-II Engine."

    8 x 10 inch black and white diagram of the Saturn II engines.
  • "S-IVB Saturn high energy upper stage and its development."

    The development of carrier rockets For manned space missions has been one of the major activities in the aerospace field during the past decade. The early space efforts were made possible by the existence of large ballistics missiles. It soon became obvious that the delivery of weapons and the launch of large spacecraft could not be combined into one operational system in an efficient way; therefore, a family of spacecraft boosters had to be created.
  • "S/Sgt. Vernon, 3rd Sqd. Ldr."

    The note on the reverse of the photo adds that Vernon was "200 lbs. of fighting spirit."

  • "Sat V growth and flexibility."

    This paper summarizes work conducted under a recent NASA study contract and Boeing studies on improved Saturn V vehicles and intermediate payload Saturn vehicles. The contractual study was a part of a continuing effort by NASA to identify a spectrum of practical launch vehicles to meet potential future payload and mission requirements as they become defined.; UAHuntsville's Saturn V finding aid has the title as: Saturn V Growth and Flexibility, by J.E. Martin.; Preferred Citation: [Identification of item] Saturn V Collection, Dept. of Archives/Special Collections, M. Louis Salmon Library, University of Alabama in Huntsville, Huntsville, AL.
