INTRODUCTION I f you have been fortunate i n this historic hour to watch the events surrounding the pre-launch and launch of Apollo 11 unfold, either from a vantage point at the Kennedy Space Center, o r along the banks of the Indian and Banana Rivers, o r from motel rooms along the Florida East Coast, then y o w have been privileged to see first hand the greatest human achievement i n the annals of mankind. NASA and its team of aerospace contractors are now reaching for just one of their goals -- landing a man o n the surface of the moon and returning h i m safely to earth. There are yet other space conquests in America's exploration of buter space which will call for even more determined spiritwhich has been the backbone of NASA's space program. The pages of t h i s booklet are designed to acquaint you with facts of the Saturn 5, the Apollo soacecraft and t h Lunar Module moonship, and to keep you informed of the day-today scheduled missions as they are now planned, for the duration of this 8-day mission. This booklet may also be a souvenir to r e m ~ n dyou for many years to come that you were here during the flight of Apollo 11, the greatest adventure story since Christopher Columbus began his perilous voyage into the unknown.

Thrust Total We~ght - 30,531 lbs. �OUTLINE OF FLIGHT PROFiLE Launch and Earth Parking Orbit Insertion - The Saturn V Vehicle will insert the S-IVBIIUlLiWCSM into a 100 NM circular orbit at 11 minutes, 24 seconds after liftoff. The S- IVBII U and Spacecraft checkout will be accomplished during the orbital coast phase. Translunar Injection and Coast - The Launch Vehicle S-IVB stage will be reignited during the second parking orbit, to inject the S-IVB, LM and CSM into a translunar trajectory. This nominal injection will provide a "free return" to Earth i f the insertion into lunar parking orbit cannot be accomplished. The CSMwill separate from the S-IVB, transpose, dock, and initiate ejection of the LM. Midcourse corrections will be made, as required, utilizing the Manned Space Flight Network (MSFN) for navigation. Lunar Orbit Insertion - Service Propulsion System (SPS) will insert the Spacecraft into an initla1 orblt of 60 X 170 NM. Following insertion and systems checks and two revolutions in this orbit, the orbitwill be circularized at @ NM. I Lunar Module Descent and Landing - The Commander (CDR) and LM Pilot (LMP) will enter the LM and separate from the CSM using the S M - Reaction Control System (RCS). The LM l used for powered Descent Propulsion System (DPS) w ~ l be descent to the lunar surface. The vertical descent portion of the landing phase will start at an altltude of 150 feet. Rest oeriods will follow. Flight Profile Lunar Surface Operations - The staytime o n the lunar surface is planned at 21 hours, 33 minutes, and 21 seconds. Stay will include rest periods and EVA of 2 hours and 40 minutes at not over 70 feet radius from the LM. Planned activities include photography, TV, sample collection, LM inspection, assessment of astronaut capabilities, and limitations and experiment deployment. Lunar Module Ascent - At the completion of the lunar surface activities the LM-Ascent Propulsion System (APS) and the LMRCS w i II be used to launch, rendezvous and dock to the CSM. The LM will coast from insertion to an elliptical orbit (9 X 45 NM) for one hour after which several maneuvers will be made to bring the LM and CSM range to within one nautical mile. Braki n g from this point will be performed manually. Once docked to the CSM the two LM Crewmen will transfer to the CSMwith sam- ' ples of lunar surface material. The CSM will be separated from the LM using the SM-RCS. Transearth Injection and Coast - The S P 5 w i l l be used to inject the CSM into the transearthtrajectory. Traosearth return time will be 63 hours, 51 minutes, 50'seconds. During the transearth coast Intermediate midcourse corrections will be mede, if required, utilizing the MSFN for navigation. Entry and Recovery - P r i o r to atmosphere entry the Command Module will be separated from the Service Module using the SMRCS The drogue parachute deployment sequence will start at a n altitude of 23,300 feet, the three main parachutes at 10,500 feet altltude. The nom~nalrange from the entry interface at 400,(MO feet alt~tudeto touchdown will be 1285 nautical miles Earth touchdown will be i n the Mid-Pacific. �LUNAR LANDING MISSION PROFILE ' �MAJOR SCHEDULE AND COUNTDOWN EVENTS T - 4 months, 2 weeks T - 3 months, 1week Erected Launch Vehicle S-IC, S-11, SIVB, and I U Erected Spacecraft CSM-107 and and LM-5 - 'I . . 2: T - 2 months l nstalled SIC and LV 0 r d n a k e ' and LES and Transferred SV to Pad A T - 1 month, 2 weeks Conducted SV - Flight Readiness Test - FRT T - 1 month Hypergolic Loading and RP-, loading of SV T - 3 weeks ' . -21 Begin Countdown Demonstration Test - Wet and Dry -% ; ' *s Countdown T - 114 hours Begin Countdown T - 106 hours, 30 min.

First flight of the first (s-IC) and second (s-11) stages of the Saturn V launch vehicle. First engine restart in orbit of the upper (s-IVB) stage of the Saturn vehicle. First successful demonstration of Apollo spacecraft performance on entering the earth's atmosphere at speeds to be reached on return from a lunar mission. The launch vehicle placed the Apollo stage spacecraft and the third (s-IVB) into a 102.5 nautical mile orbit. After completing two orbits, the third stage re-ignited to place the Apollo spacecraft into orbit with an apogee of 9,39 1 nautical miles (10,800 statute miles). Upon separating from the third stage, the spacecraft raised its apogee to 9,769 nautical miles by firing its service propulsion system (sps) engine. A second sps burn during descent from apogee boosted re-entry velocity to more than 36,333 feet-per-second (21,800 knots) for the command module. The command module, protected by its heat shield, re-entered the atmosphere. The command module"^ lift capability was used to split re-entry heating into two pulses. Drogue and main parachutes functioned normally and the spacecraft at splashdown was sighted from the deck of the prime recovery vessel, USS Bennington. The landing point was some 18,500 yards west of the aiming point. The Saturn first stage (v s-IC) and second stage (s-11) performed a s planned on their maiden flight. The third stage (s-I-) had flown four times earlier as the second stage of the Uprated Saturn 1. Commenting on Apollo 4 mission results at a postflight press conference, NASA Deputy Administrator Dr. Robert C . Seamans said, "Today we placed in earth orbit over 280,000 pounds. T o give this some perspective, this is three times the weight of the six manned Mercury spacecraft and the ten manned Gemini spacecraft that we have flown." "And I believe," Seamans continued, "that this is a clear indication that our team of government, industry and university people was not found wanting, and that we do have the capacity in this country to be preeminent not only in space, but in all human endeavor in- �volving science and technology. The power of the Saturn V is exceeded many-fold by our power in this country to accomplish the near impossible for the good of all mankind." The hellish heat generated at blast7ff put a piece of Collins equipment to s most diabolical test. The equipment, RADIC (from RAdio Interior Commication) station, was located only feet from the thundering rocket. i e n the launch area cooled down )ugh for NASA personnel to inspect effects of liftoff, they found the aDIC station torn from its mount, ilging by its coaxial cable and the tubig used to purge the unit with inert 3s. All the control knobs were melted ~d the circuit cards were vibrated 3ose. But when the NASA personnel e-seated the cards, the station played is well as any of its some 2,000 counterparts at Launch Complex 39. These RADIC stations are used by NASA personnel for communication during tssembly, checkout and launch operaions. The success of Apollo 4 has rekinled America's hope of rocketing astroauts to the moon and back by the end f this decade. Recently NASA anounced a new schedule for reaching - this goal. In the revised Apollo schedule, command, service and lunar modules will be tested and qualified on concurrent unmanned flights of the uprated Saturn and Saturn V launch vehicles. (Apolloluprated Saturn flights are identified with a two-hundred series number, i.e.,ApollolSaturn 204. Saturn V flights are identified with a fivehundred series number, i.e., Apollol Saturn 502.) The schedule for 1968: Apollo/Saturn 204, the first unmanned test of the lunar module in earth orbit. ApollolSaturn 502, s e c o n d unmanned flight test of the Saturn V launch vehicie and command and service modules. ApollolSaturn 503, third unmanned test of the Saturn V and command and service modules. Apollo/Saturn 206, s e c o n d unmanned flight test of the lunar module in earth orbit. ApollolSaturn 205, first Apollo manned flight, a 10-day mission qualifying the command and service modules for further manned operations. ApolloISaturn 504, first manned Apollo flight on the Saturn V launch vehicle. This mission will provide the first manned operation in space with the command and service and lunar modules, including crew transfer from the c s r s ~to the LM and rendezvous and docking. These flights will be flown in the above order and as rapidly as all necessary preparations can be completed. As they proceed, all opportunities to accelerate progress toward manned flights and a rapid accumulation of manned experience with the Apollol Saturn system will be sought. The 1969 Apollo flight schedule calls for five manned ApollolSaturn flights (A/S505 through AIS 509). Four of these flights, A/S 505 through 508, are programmed as lunar mission development flights or simulations. It is possible that the lunar landing a.

Unified S-band spacecraft communication equipment and ground tracking1 communication systems provided by Collins performed significant roles in the highly successful Apollo 4 test flight. The unmanned command module system performed these functions: Two-way telemetry transmission. Receiving and automatic retransmission of ranging signals to determine orbital velocity and position of the spacecraft. Recovery communication. This was the third space flight test of the spacecraft communication system, it having been used on two previous unmanned Apollo test flights. In future manned flights, the system will provide two-way voice communication for astronauts and television transmission from spacecraft to earth. The new unified S-Band ground tracking1communication network, for which Collins is prime contractor, was tested for the first time with an Apollo spacecraft during the Apollo 4 mission. This network includes 12 stations with 30-foot antennas and three stations with 85-foot antennas. Eleven of the 30-foot stations and one of the 85-foot stations were used for communication with and tracking the spacecraft. Also employed during the mission was the tracking ship Vanguard, which has Collins systems aboard. Eventually the new USB ground network will be used for all tracking, communication and data acquisition on all Apollo missions, including the flight to land astronauts on the moon and return them safely to earth. The spacecraft communication and data system is provided by Collins under contract to North American Rockwell Corp., and the USB ground network system is provided under contract to NASA'sGoddard Space Flight Center. Both the spacecraft and ground systems will be used throughout Project Apollo. USB combines near-earth and deepspace communication requirements in a single band of radio frequencies. The communication and data system also employs VHF for near-earth and command module-to-lunar module communications. For recover operations, VHF and HF provide the communication link. USB replaces C-Band, used in Mercury and Gemini, for ranging; although continued use of C-Band is programmed along with USB in initial Apollo flights. Design of the USB system was based on the coherent doppler and pseudorandom range technique, developed by NASA'sJet Propulsion Laboratory, and used in previous unmanned deep space probes. This technique involves a ground-based transmitting and receiving station, working in conjunction with a spacecraft transponder. A single carrier frequency is utilized in each direction for the transmission of all tracking and communications data between the spacecraft and ground. The voice and up-date data are modulated onto subcarriers and then combined with the ranging data. This composite information is used to phase-modulate the transmitted carrier frequency. The received and transmitted carrier frequencies are coherently related: This allows measurements of the carrier doppler frequency by the ground station for precise determination of the radial velocity of the spacecraft. Voice and telemetry data from the spacecraft are modulated onto subcarriers, combined with the ranging signals, and used to phase modulate the down-link carrier frequency. The This transportable unified S-band tracking and communication station is bdng used in the lunar landing program. Station is one of I5 built by Collins for NASA3s Goodard Space Flighr Center, which is responsible for the worldwide Manned Space Flight Network. 20 �spacecraft S-Band transponder transmitter also can be frequency modulated for transmitting television, analog data, or recorded voice and data. The ground-command module uplink frequency in the phase-modulation mode is 2106.4 MHz. The coherently related down-link command moduleearth frequency in the phase-modulation mode is 2287.5 MHz. A second down-link frequency, 2272.5 MHz, operates in the FM mode. Simultaneous transmissions can be made on all three S-Band frequencies. In the frequency modulation mode, however, television by itself can be transmitted or analog datalrecorded voice and data can be sent, but not simultaneously. The communication and data system is actually a subsystem of the command module, provided by North American Rockwell to NASA. AS communication and data subsystem manager, Collins was responsible not only for the system engineering, system testing, and management of the program but also for the design and manufacture of certain of the equipments. They include: Audio center - A solid-state audio amplification and control unit providing a complete and independently operated audio station for each astronaut. Furnishes each crew member with microphone and earphone amplifiers, diode switching circuits that control audio signals to and from operating RF equipment or an intercom system, and vox circuitry to permit voice keying of transmitters. Three electrically identical groups of audio and switching circuitry are contained in 3 1 small, encapsulated cordwood assemblies, housed in a gasket-sealed aluminum case. S-bandpower amplifier-A travelingwave-tube power amplifier for highpower amplification of the low-level outputs of transponder. The PA unit contains two independent power amplifiers, either of which can be used to amplify either t h e p ~or FM frequency mode. Two power levels, approximately 2.5 and 11 watts, are provided. The power amplifier is packaged in a sealed pressurized case, about 5.75 inches wide, 6 inches high and 22 inches long. The PA weighs 32 pounds. Pre-modulation processor- It provides the signal multiplexing and interfacing between voice, data, television and recording equipment, and command module RF transmitting and receiving equipment. When the premodulation processor is used in con- View from atop Apollo 4 before launch from Kennedy Space Center shows approaching mobile service structure, which is used to ready launch vehicle and spacecraft for flight. junction with the transponder, both perform many communication functions that otherwise would require separate transmitters and receivers. The pre-modulation processor functions for all S-band transmission and reception except the ranging signal and provides interfacing with u s s for command module-lunar module communition via VHF/AM. The pre-modulatioq processor is of solid-state design with redundant circuitry and modular construction. Weight is 1 1.3 pounds. The unit is approximately 4.7 inches wide, 6 inches high and 10.5 inches long. HF transceiver - Employed for longrange direction finding and voice communication during landing and recovery phases of mission. Operable in single sideband, compatible AM or cw modes on preassigned carrier frequency of 10.006 MHz. Power output is 20 watts PEP in sss, and 5 watts carrier in AM and cw. Transceiver is enclosed in a machined aluminum case, 4 inches wide, 6 inches high and 8.5 inches long. Weight is 6.3 pounds. VHF recovery beacon-A solid-state tone-modulated AM transmitter that provides signal for line-of-sight radio direction finding during landing and recovery operations. Recovery beacon This multiple exposure freezes 30-foot S-band antenna in three positions as it sweeps from horizon to horizon. The Manned Space Flight Network includes 12 30-footers. �transmits with 3-watt minimum power at 243 MHz. It has an automatic transmission interruption cycle of 2 seconds on and 3 seconds off. Unit consists of a modulator-regulator assembly and an RF amplifier-oscillator assembly. Weight is 2.5 pounds, and dimensions are 4 inches wide. 4 inches hiah - and 6.75 inches long. Other elements of the spacecraft communication and data system are a VHF AM transmitter-receiver for nearearth and recovery communication, unified S-band equipment (two phaselocked transponders and an FM transmitter), PCM telemetry equipment, data storage equipment, and a VHF triplexer for simultaneous operation of three channels on a single antenna. The normal spacecraft-earth voice communication channel is via U S B . Voice and telemetry signals originating in the spacecraft modulate a subcarrier in the pre-modulation processor. The subcarrier is routed to the unified S-band equipment, where it modulates one of the two redundant transponder transmitters. The output of the S-band equipment may be routed directly to the S-band antenna system or first passed through the S-band power amplifier, where it is amplified to one of two selectable power levels. The communications and tracking for Apollo is provided by elements of the Manned Space Flight Network, built for Mercury, augmented for Gem. . - - . . in1 and turther e x ~ a n d e dto. meet - .. t.h .e uniquc requirements of Apollo. The b. present Manned Space Flight Network, managed for NASA by Goddard Space Flight Center, involves not only NASA, but also elements of the Department of Defense and several foreign countries. Several of the stations, including instrumentation ships, are operated by the DOD. Stations in Australia are operated by Australians under participating agreements with the Australian government. The Manned Space Flight Network may be regarded as a real-time, global extension of the monitoring and control capabilities of the Manned Space Flight Control Center in Houston. In order to accomplish this extension, it is necessary to have an effective world-wide communications network. The communications network, in fact, becomes one of the most important items in the support of the mission. I I �* a.

Thirty-foot stations are at Kennedy Space Center, Florida; Antigua Island; Ascension Island; Bermuda; Canary Islands; Grand Bahama Island; Carnarvon, Australia; Guam; Hawaii; Guaymas, Mexico; Corpus Christi, Texas, and Goddard Space Flight Center. Functions of the 30-foot stations include pre-launch and in-flight checkout of the spacecraft, filling of gaps in coverage of the 85-foot stations, and tracking and communication during orbit. Each USB station includes a rotating dish antenna, which automatically locks on and follows the course of the spacecraft, and electronic equipment for transmitting, receiving, modulating and demodulating signals. Each station is linked by various landline and radio circuits to the Mission Control Center at Houston and Goddard Space Flight Center, Md. The USE System replaces several antennas and different links required for tracking and communications with the spacecraft. The voice and data are modulated onto the same RF carrier used for the tracking function. Output from the USB System is used to drive the data demodulating and processing equipment developed and used for Project Gemini. I n the Apollo program, the us3 network will be required to support up to three vehicles in earth orbit-the command module, the lunar module, and the Saturn s-IVB. Support is required for earth-orbital Apollo missions, the L/M-command module rendezvous tests, and the checkout of all three vehicles in earth orbit prior to injection into the lunar phases of the missions. Support of both the L/M and command module throughout the lunar mission and the command module during the re-entry phase of the mission is, of course, the prime role of the USB System. Since the USB System is mandatory for the lunar missions, it must be Technician mans console of Bermuda 30-foot station, one of 12 such stations in the MannedSpace Flight Nefwork. checked out and proven capable of supporting manned missions during the early Apollo flights, as it was during Apollo 4. The unified system approach was adopted primarily because it offers a superior technical solution and reduces spacecraft equipment requirements. A number of the Unified S-Band Stations have dual capability; that is, they are capable of performing doppler and range measurements as well as receiving data and voice from two spacecraft simultaneously. The 85-foot stations are spaced at approximately equal intervals of longitude around the earth to provide continuous coverage of lunar missions. Three Deep Space Instrumentation Facilities, located near the USB stations, serve as backup stations. Both instrumentation ships and aircraft will play a primary role in support of the Apollo program. The Apollo mission requires burning of the space vehicle engine in areas where it is not practical or possible to provide coverage from the land-based stations. Instrumentation coverage will be provided during these critical phases of mission by the ships and aircraft. They will also be used to provide data during the re-entry phases of the mission in areas where coverage from land stations rs not available. Putting men on the moon, man's most audacious undertaking, will put to the acid test much of modern technology. Collins, in its participation in Project Apollo, is determined that its communication technology will pass this critical test. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

We're ready to proceed with the Apollo 6 prelaunch briefing at this time. I ' d l i k e t o cover a few logistics before we go into the actual conference here. W e ' l l be open a l l night tonight. The phone nunrber for any new arrivals who have not been with us before i s 783-7781. We'll have somebody on duty a l l night and through the morning hours leading up t o launch. You've a l l been accredited. You have your badges. You have the instructions you require to find your way out to the press site a t Launch Complex 3'9. You w i l l be able to take your own transportation out there. There w i l l be a guard who w i l l direct you to the parking lot which i s located right i n front of the press site itself. We request that you don't go up on the mound a t the press site, but bring your car into the parking lot i n front. W e ' l l start a commentary at about 2 a.m. tomorrow rnouning, rugning about every half hour until the crowd grows a l i t t l e larger. We w i l l be giving a complete commentary later i n the c o ~ l n t . The countdown commentary w i l l be handled from here until we clear thc tower a t l ifkoff a t which time it w i l l switch to the Manned Spacecraft Center i n tlouston, I n addition to your own transportation we w i l l have a bus departing here roughly on the hour, starting at r i i d n i ~ k t , with i t s last departure from the News Center at 5 : 3 0 a.m. tomorrow. You a l l might keep i n mind that i t ' s possible there could be some pretty good traffic i n the xrea as we get close to launct.1 time and it might behoove you a l l l o consider leaving early enough to notgget caught i n traffic a t the last minute. W e ' l l have a post-launch briefing at the press site at T plus 60 minutes. T h i s w i l l be followed by a second conference, a post-*mission briefing, which w i l l occur about ten hours after launch. This also will be a twoway conference, with participants from both the Kennedy Space Center and the PJlanned Spacecraft Center i n Houston. I ' d now like to introduce these gentlemen to you here, and one gentleman who i s also standing by for us at the PAanned Spacecraft Center i n I-louston. T h i s w i l l also be a two-way conference. We w i l l first take questions from here and then stvitch to your colleaqiies i n !-!ouston so that they will also have an opportunity to asl: questions. �To niy right, here at l<SC, Mr. George M. Low, viho i s Apollo Program Manager for the NASA Manned Spacecraft Center. Mext, Mr. \Nilliani Schneider, Office of Maniiecl Spaceflight, NASA Headquarters MrSchneider i s Apollo blission Director. Next Rocco Petrone, w l ~ oi s Director of Launch Operations for the Kennedy Space Center, and Launch Director for tlie Apollo 6 fligf~t. Next wc have Dr. Arthur Rudolph. Dr. Rudolph i s the Saturn V Progratn Manager from the Marsl~allSpace Fliglit Center. And Colonel Royce Olson, who i s Director of the Department of Defense F.4anned Spaceflight Support Office a t Patrick A i r Force Base. Also, standing by i n Houston, i s Mr. Cliff Charlesworth, who i s the 5 0 2 Flight Director, the Apollo 6 Flight Director for this mission at MSC. -- Mr. Kraft: I'd now like to turn it over to Mr. Schneider. Excuse me. I also understand, l'nl sorry Chris, we also have Mr. Chris Kraft, who i s Director of Fliglit Operations for the Manned Spacecraft Center, also standing by i n Houston. .Bill, would you take over please., Mr. Schneider: Good afternoon, ladies and gentlen~en. First I'd like to'apologize for the hour and a half delay. 1 assure you we were worlting and weren't just loafing. We have just completed oirr final review of the spacecrafi and tlie lairnch ve'l~icleand the entire comp!ex' as well as the netci~orkand the BOD forces, and we've conipleted our review of the weather, and everything i s at this time GO!. . The weather situation, as reported to 11sby the ESSA people, i s basically that early i n the morning the weather w i l l be much like this, as it i s out here today, that is, with clear and gentle winds, with deterio:ating conditions toward the afternoon, with ar. expected wind velocity reaching as rnuch as a peak of 25 knots sonletirnc later i n tlie day. But v ~ eare on scttediile aild moving out for an 0700 launch tomorrow morning, that's 0 7 0 0 Eastern Standard. The close of the window for tomorrow w i l l be dependent upon ille conditior?~ i n the recovery zone. VIe have set a requirerr~entthat t f con:litions ~ in thc recovery zone be such that the onsite commander can give us reasona!)ie assurance that he w i l l be able to successfully vecover the spacecraft. Vie expecl the close of that window to be, i f contlitions arc very good, on t t ~ c order of noon cr 1230 EST. �T h i s is, of course, the final qualification flight on the Saturn V launch vehicle, since we have previously qualified the command and service modules and the lunar module for manned flight i n previous missions. We are looking forward to having a goocl la~lnchvehicle flight, and as a niatter of fact, a good spacecraft flight, too, George, but as I said, the spacecraft objectives are on this tnission, secondary. It i s even conceivable that, and I stress the word conceivable, that the mission may have accomplished a l l of i t s primary mission objectives at the time of insertion into orbit, although, of course, that couldn't be determined for quite a long time. We do have one, I shall not call it a dark cloud, but one question mark, and this i s the question that kept us out at the Launch Control Center for the past couple hours. That i s the question of a temperature that we experienced during the Countdown Demonstration Test on the S-Il stage J-2 engines where some of the propellant pump discharge temperatures were a few degrees above what we call our redlinc values, that i s the values that we expect to achieve for launch. We have taken some corrective action and we have examined it. We think we've solved the problem. We have reaso~ablehope that we've solved the problem. However, there i s no way to test whether we w i l l achieve the proper redline withoui going through a cryogenic test and so the cryogenic test i s going to be i n the morning. If, for example, we do not achieve this proper temperature on the first cycle we w i l l be forced to do what we did during the CDDT, and that is, namely, cut off, stop at about 22 seconds 0: thereabouts and recycle back t o about 24 minutes, then wait and assess the problem and see whether or not we can stabilize conditions again, and try again. Wopefully that w i l l not happen, but it i s a very distinct possibility. With that, I'd like to turn it over to Rocco and ask Col. Petronit i f he would now give LIS a discussion of how things have been going out at the Cape. �Mr. Petrone: Well, we have been busy, as yo11 know. We finished our Countdown Demonstration Sunday, then we had to recycle for the count and also work our way throtrgh.sorne of the things we found i n the Countdown Demonstration, but we succeeded in picking up the count at one o'clock this morning. We have a final 24hour terminal count which we picked up at one, and at the time as of now, I understand the count is on . we left tliere schedule. We plan a hold at the eight-hour mark, T minus eight hours. We plan a hold of six hours. We have no scheduled work and at this time it does not appear that there will be any necessary within that hold; We zre on schedule with a!l of our checks, everything is going fine. So, roughly at 1700, in another hour and fifteen minutes, we w i l l complete our task on schedule, We w i l l have a six-hour hold and pick up again at 11o'clock tonight for the Final portion of the count of eight hours to a seven o'clock l iftoff. -- -- A t 10:30 p,m. we w i l l have a look at the weather to see i f the situation has changed. Right now, the forecast would indicate tfiat our niort~ingtime is the best time to go, that is Thursday morning. We w i l l take a look at the weather at lO:30, then commit at 1 1 : 0 0 p.m., that is EST, at T rnitius eight in our count for the launcli. A t T minus seven hours vie stait our cryogenic tanking and shortly theuezfter we will stati getting cryogenics into the stage. Up until T minus eight hours vJe can s i t there and . recycle on a 24-hour basis. I f we dccidc not to pick up the count a t 13.:00, and assuming we had no prob!er?i causir~g11s to go i n and change something, we could s i t there and hold,, 'vV~can do that through Saturday as tve now see it. We could wait through Thursday, Friday and Saturday on our latrnch attempts, asstlining far. some reason 'at T minus eight Iiouus we do not want to pick up the count, other than for hardware difficulties somewht?~in the program, Once we get our cryoga~icsaboard the stage we thei~are in the . positiot~of a 72-hour recycle. These are my conclusior~son wherz we have been and what we have bee!^ doing since our CDDT ended, and now we expt.ct to pick up the count at 11:GO p.m. for a launch s t 7: 0 0 a.m. Col. Olsot~: Departn:ent of Defense support for this mission is essentially the 50 1, hie have roi~yhl.y45 airsame as it was for Apollo 4 craft and 1.1 ships involved. CZ'c are taking advantage of this unmanned mission, of col!ae, to fuither t~ai!; o w crews and check S zrt? con~ir~g iilto the out the eyuipn~entOII the new Y C S D ~ ~ Y C Cti:zk -- �inventory to support Apollo, such as the Apollo ships and the ARIA aircraft, There w i l l be two aircraft in the Hawaiian area for reentry, there w i l l be three of them out here in the Atlantic, There are three Apollo ships involved. One of them, the Mercury, is sitting out here in the port, but we are getting training as the spacecraft passes over, so i f you're interested in Apollo ships, there is one right here at the port. Question: I'd like a recap on the postponements, the seriousness of them, etc,, from March 2 1. There have been five postponements, is that correct? MY, Schneider: I don't know the numbers. We did stark out for March 21, We did have a number of minor probtems, normal problems. Perhaps Rocco would like to go into them, Mr. Petrone: , Those of us working in the program, doing the job day by day, perhaps don't see much of the calendar shifts -- there are shifts throughout our scheduleo I can't think of anything -- you see, in the CDDT we did have three attempts. On one attempt we had a leak in the facility, that we had to repair. On a second attempt we had fuel difficulties. So it was those kind of problems that went on and moved us from the 2 I s t to the 4 t h -- throughout our preparation schedule, 1 can't recall a single large item that we changed out,, There was additive work, things took a l i t t l e longer at;d on some of our tasks, either we didn't hit it the First time or had to go. back i n and change a component, but there was nothing significantly large that gave us a two week s l i p by itself, There were many additive situations. Question: I'd I ike to ask George Low if a!! the objectives of thc spacecraft are regarded as secondary as f a as he is concerned, is there anything that could happen to the spacecraft, including washout or failure to recover, that might mxke you want to have another preparztory fl ight before manned flight ? Mrb Low: Wel I, I have to say yes to that question, but I can't give you a more specific answer, IF we should lose a spacecraft because of a spacecraft failure, we would hate to lool< at that failur2 t o determine whether we would need another flight or car? solve it by ground test or analysis or what have you, These questions are very difficult to answer before a flight, b[r"tome very easy after a fl iyht, �Question: For Mr. Sctllreider or Mr, Petrone, Can you explain in a little further detail the J-2 pump discharge problem? Mr. Petrone: We have a redl ine that we have to zchieve in order to assure that whe1.1your turbopump starts pumping your liquid oxygen or your l iquid hydrogen into your engine, that you do not cavitate. The term means that you don't convert the fluids into gases, because you want to deliver liquids. You want to del iver a good sol i d liquid, This has to do with ten~peratureand pressure. So we have a temperature reading that we look for at the engine inlet, The redl ine we're looking for and we're set at, is minus 286 degrees Fahrenheit, It .is now, with looking at the engines specifically and having run through our Countdown Demonstrat ion Thursday, we have, in effect, raised that two degrees to minus 284 and what you're doing here is looking for a number that ~ v j l assure l that the pumps function properly so that the liquid doesn't gasify as it goes through the pumps. These are very cold liquids and as you s i t there, you tend to pick up heat, just by virtue 6f the fact that they ar2 cryogenic. So the question of a redline on an engine, and it has to do with these particular engines and the head that you have on it, the prim2 purpose of it is to prevent cavitation or to prevent the Iiquids from being converted to a gas before you get t o the injector of that engine, �Question: May I follow up on that? M r . Petrone: Yes. Quest ion: This was on the oxygen side, rather than on the hydrogen? Mr. Petrone: We had actually, Bill, three on the oxygen side and one on the hydrogen side. We had one hydrogen feed line and three oxygen feed lines i n the second stage wherein we were, say, a few degrees hotter than the redl ine l imits . Quest ion: You don't redline hydrogen at any temperature as high as minus 286, do you? M r . Petrone: No. The number I gave was for oxygen. Hydrogen i s minus 420, i f my memory serves, minus 420. Question: Can you account for the heat sources? Dr. Rudolph: No. Really , t h i s i s not so easy to explain. We know that there must be a change i n the heat source, but what it really i s we are s t i l l struggling with. It could be. . . .. . . Question: I s this a novel situation? Has it ever happened before? Dr. Rudolph: It has not happened before. Mr. Petrone: It did not happen on 5 Q l . However, i t has beet1 seen on prior programs. Dr. Rudolph: Maybe 1 can say the following. Since this compartment where these engines are we can only test here at the Cape for the f i r s t time, not i n our captivefirirrjs on our test stands, and therefore the conditions are entirely differetit because n~!rdthe engines are enclosed and are between the oxygen tank of the second stage and the oxygen tank on the first stag?. .So we have to d2liver h2aE to protect against too much cold. Now any slight cha~gc!in the construction, an insulation change, would affect the condition in there We ti;lve taken covrcctive action by inproving insulation and as Racco already meniioned, we changed the rc;dli;le so we c-an accept a highet. tenrpeiature, but what it w i l l really turn o ~ r tomorrow t rilorniny, we don't kuov~for suye. . �Question: One part of my question may.have been answered. You changed the redline. Was that the figure you gave, Rocco ,two degrees difference; and how much different.was it; was it the CDDT when this turned up? How many degrees was it past the redline value? Mr. Petrone: It was about four or five below---or hotter---with these temperatures we're working i n the negative. We were five degrees warmer than we wanted toebe and there was some variation between the engines, but about five degrees. Dr. Rudolph: That was the worst one. The others were better. Now here we can, we have done some improved insulating and I think it w i l l contribute to a better condition and also, we changed the redline. We give two degrees, so that we think w i l l get off i n the stock box, what we call it. The engines are very sensitive to temperatures and pressures and that should do the trick. Again, we are not sure. Question: I s this only on the S-ll? Dr .. Rudolph: That's only on the S-li Question: What i s getting too hot, the cryogznics or some of the metal? Mr. Petrone: The cryogenics. Tile cryogenics ur,der the head and under the pressures in effect get superheated and that!s what this increase i n temperature is. Question: This i s for Mr. Schneider. Last week Bob Moser told us that his people are anxious to get the 503 vehicle out on the pad within ten days, i f it has to be unmanned, and he'd like to have a decision from you within seven days whether it's going to be manned or unmanned. Could you give him one i n t!mt time? Mr. Schneider: Well, I'll hasten to state that tile decision i s not mine. (Laughter). . A l l 1 car1 say i s that ttls decision w i l l be made as soon as there i s an adequate analysis of the data, so that we can determine whether or not the mission satisfied all of our requirements. As a little aside, it's difficult sometimes at the completion of 2 mission to determice whether or not it is a completely si~ccessfulmission, because you've got to await analysis of all of the data. You can have what appeals to bc a pcrfect mission 2nd i f you had a telemetry t Iiave no clata frorn thc tcchrrical link go out or a niuliiplexer yo o ~and statidpoint, it's a cornpletz failiire . �Similarly, on the other hand, you can have one where things change considerably during the mission, such as what happened on Apollo 5, but you get a i l of the data that you've been really looking for in the flight. So it w i l l take some time to make tha: decision and we a l l know how everyone wants the decision as early as possible. So that's a l l I can say now. Question: To follow that up, i f you don't say have a decision within ten or twelve days but it s t i l l looks goad, would you hold up the rollout of the 503 to the pad? Mr. Schneider: I think we'd wait, that we'd hold that decision and make that wtien we see how good the data i s or how bad the data i s . W e ' l l maice that depending on how it looks. Quest ion: Regarding the engine, again. Did this affect a l l engines and secondly, at what point w i l l you know wtiether it has been solved? Mr. Petrone: It affected three of the five of the liquid oxygen feed ducts and one of the five of the liquid hydrogen. \fire w i l l not know we have solved it to proceed w i t h the mission ufitil 22 seconds before liftoff. Q~testion: F o r B i l l Schneider. B i l l , you said i t ' s possible a l l the pritnary mission objectives w i l l be acenmplishcd by insertion into otbit. What has to be accomplished by ii~sertioninto orbit to meet a l l of your primary objectives? M r . Schneider: Well, let me hasten to add thzt a l l of the primary objectives, as listed i n your press kit, do include an S-IV-43 restart and we w i l l be mightily disappointed and w i l l not consider the rilissiorl a complete success i f we do n ~ yct t that. What 1 am saying i s that, i f for some reason or ckher we do not get a restart, we may arid D hasten to say "may", we may have sufficient information to make a ptaper decision on whether or not th? Saiirun V i s ready for man rating. We w i i l not know that until long after- ihe f l i yht , because that would be as 2 result of catefli2 analysis of t f ~ data. ~: Question: I'd like to go back to the hzating problerri, just for a moment. 1"Y'hen the.. .This pvoblt.ri1 occurs, as I LII-iderstand i t , as thc cryogenics are being pumped into the tanks? . �Mr. Petrone: No. The problem actually is seen when we go into automatic sequence at three minutes and, I believe, seven seconds. We started pressurization activity. The cryogenics heat up under the pressures. These are the flight pressures that we're building up. Now what we have to do i s read, and we do this on every flight, we read the temperature at the inlet.to the engine. We establish a band width. Vie call it a redline and wd say we must be within. that band width or below that redline in order to function properly, and on the S-ll you're reading a value on the ground and actually the engine isn't going to ignite until some two and a half minutes, so what you're doing i s extrapolating a ground condition into what it will be two and a half minutes later, but you see your temperature rise, in your automatic sequence. It's the or11y time we can see it.. That's the reason Dr. Rudolph mentioned we've got to go through our terminal sequence. We'l l be reading these values and our tinies are down to minus.22 seconds. If we are within the redline, we would then proceed. I f we're not, we plan to cut off. Question: A t the time the fuel i s injected into the engine, i n which state is it? is it liquid and then it gasifies in the engine? Mr. Petrone: You gc through the injector as a liquid with your liquid oxygen. The difficulty comes at your pump i f you start to cavitate .or build up an air bubble there. The pump w i l l not work efficiently and therefore your mixing ratios are entirefy different than what you've planfied and you can get any mixi~igratio, which can lead, of 'course, to many consequences, whether it would go in the engine properly, or whether you would get too much fuel ancl not enough oxygen, but basically, what you do, is you're upsetting your ratio of fuel to oxidizer going into the engine. Dr. Rudolph: And you want to start fircl rich, not oxygen rich. Both are liquid. Question: For George Low. George, what's the status of the spacecraft for the 503 mission? Where is it and how soon can you bring it out to the VAB to stack it, assuming that the flight tomorrow i s a success? . hlr Low: Are you tal king about a spacecraft for an unmanned or a manned flight? Wel I, George, that would be comrnand modulc 103, whic11 i s about to go into clieckont i r l Dowt~eyanrl LM-3 which has bcer~in ctleckout at Bztilpagc f3r S O ~ ! Itirria. C~ tdeitl~evoite of tliese vehicles arz schsduled for dslivery t~eveuntil surnrr;crtin;e. �Question: I'm a little confused, then, on the basis of Howard Benedict's question and then the answer to this last one,, what i s the sweat about moving the next Saturn V out to the pad i f you don't have the command module and the lunar module for the manned flight here? Answer: Well, because of some of.thz interactions i n getting some of our work done out on our remote sites, some of the programs that must be put in. We have a situation where our missions are pressing one on the other. . . Answer: I believe we've got a boilerplate on 503 now, and i f tihe decision was made to f l y unmanned, and what we have planned and brought up to this point, we have on board a boilerplate spacecraft with a l l the weights and the simulations i n there and that's what v~ould fly. Question: And you'd want to gct that out i n a hurry i n order to make way f o i 504, which would then be ycur first manned flight? But.. Answer: That's our planning as o f today. We've broughl the 5 03 to tlie point of checkout, where it's near rollout within these ten days that Howard mention~d. Now v ~ e ' l llook at tlie results of 5 0 2 . before we make further decisioiis. We have brought it to the point where the boilerplate that would f l y for the eventuality that we have to launch it, we would not wait on another delivery of a spacecraft. I believe that was the question that was raised. Question: I n other words, i f you decided that you were going to have another.. i f you decided that your next flight was going to be the manned one, then you would not be in a hurry to get the Saturn V out of the ..... VAB? Answer: That's correct. Question: Two more brief qirestions on the temperature problem. Ro'cco, I'm s t i l l not sure whether one of tlie J-2 ellgines or two of then1 were not affected i n any way by this problem, and secondly, do you have any indication of villy they were not affected and the others were? Mr. 'Petrone: It turns out that the t h r w that were affected by l i q ~ i i doxygen,and two were not. The otie that was affected by liquid h'yduo5cn was, not affected by liquid oxygen. So vie !lad the cr?nter engine that VJC ran fickter on tile liquid hycluogzn that did not, t f ~ was t within . �the redline, on the liquid oxygen. So what you have i s a case of three engines where they're out of spec. on liquid oxygen and one engine out of spec. on liquid hydrogen, not the same engines. Question: Can you explain in anyway why the first engine did not have this problem on either side? Mr. Petrbnz: No Dr. Rudolph: No, the fifth engine had the problem on the hydrogen side, the center engine, the hydrogen side, and it has a longer feed duct. You see, the feed duct comcs down the side of the stage and then goes to the engines, and they are not all down on one side, but are distributed. Now theti, the lines are equally long for the four outer engines, but the center engine, being farther away, needs a longer f ~ e dline, so it i s therefore more sensitive to any temperature changes which might occur in that stretch of the line t o the center engine. Mr. Petrone: It's a frrtiction of geometry and heat distribution, as Dr. Rudolph mentioned. The flow in that interstage, the only time you see it is here at the launch site. The only time you have a first stage to sit on topof and therefore the fuel conditioi~syoit get. We have electror~lcsin there and actually v:t? nitlst pump warrn air in there. Now you get a series of factors so that you end up with a result: and therz's going to be same movemet;t of values, the inlet temperatures, and literally, one can only experiment with it here to see what the end result i s going to be. It cannot be done on a test site. Mr. Klng: We had two patient hands i n the front row and there's a third hand up now. Vde'll take these two questions 11t;vrt ,then we'll go to Houston for questions, therl we'il ccltrle back here far anybody who has questions. Go ahead. Question: Another question on this heat probier;!. If you go to F mint!s 22 seconds and havc to hold, w i i l that be a prolonged hof d or.. Mu. Petronz: We wiff not hold at T minus 22. At I"r n i n ~ ~22 s secofids, anybyhere after three minutes seven seconds, we w i l l revert back, we'i t go back to T minus 24 minutes. .*.. .... �Question: Is there some quick fix or do you have something in'mind that you can make a change .to get the temperature down again? Mr. Petrone:. By observing the particular trace of the temperature, we'll be watching the temperature on. the recorder and have it plotted. There are adjustments, such as inlet, temperatures of that interstage. That i s one adjustment we can make ., Dr. Rudolph: We also expect that we had during the CDDT, that on the second round as we call it, the situation had improved. It did. on the first attempt, or rather on the second attempt, during the CDDT, improve, Only one LOX side was out of the specs. or the .redline. Que.stion: I believe this i s for Dr. Rudolph. A t an earlier briefing, Bob Moser told us that i f vie go manned on 503., the S-11 stage w i l l go back. to Michoud for man rating and certain modifications. 1-le specifically nlentioned possible relocation or strenthening of the baffles, the LOX baffles which hzve given some troubleon 5 0 1 . Could you pinpoint this and explain a little b i t about it. Dr. Rudolph: Yes, you talk two different i s s ~ e sat the same time, so that we talk fir'st about a one where you mention the second stage, th3 S-11 would go back to the test site. That's correct. We would indicate that 503 would be manned, take the second stage, ship it'back to the Mississippi Test Facility znd make a cryogenic proof test, so that answers one question, I believe. The other one .is that during the 5 0 1 LOX loading in the .S-I!, we had damage of baffles and i n order to save time during the countdown and avoid crew fatigue we want to go to a fast f i l l on 503 manned. Now since we had this problem with the. baffle damage of 501, we have to do something to the baffles. Strengthen them for instance. Question: What? Specifically, how? Dr. Rudolph: Well, we, for instance, changed the baffles, which are shaped like a rhomboid and s i t down at the bottom of the LOX sun,p. We took the lower half off, so i n a way, LV.,~ took them out of ti12 stream of the incoming liquid oxygen. That helps, but we also have to stirdy the flow dynamics inside. It isn't all that simple. As I say it here, and again, you can only find that out by testing, not by anaf.ysis, by sitting down at your desk ancl trying in your mind to figure o.ut what the f ~ r c e sare. 'Any~lay,tvt? tilink we, by also niaking certain changes to the facility, Kocccr, understand the probler~i well eno:!gh that on 503, manned, we c2n fast load zgaln. �Mr. King: Thank you. We'll now switch to Houston. I understand both M r . Kraft and M r . Chaviescvorth have a statement. \lo ice : T h i s i s I-lauston. We have one logistical announcement to make f i r s t . The Houston News Center w i l l be open until ten p .me, Central time, this evening and reopen at fowr a.m., Central time, tomorrow morning. Next w e ' l l hear from M r . Kraft and M r . Charlesworth. �Mr. Kraft: I ivot~ldlike to point out that this is another ~~nmanned flight of a manned vehicle and therefore another complex job for the flight control and ground crew to accomplistl. There are a large number of things that we can and may have to do and it may be a difficult m i s s i o ~from l that p o i ~ of t view. The other point I would like to make i s that we have been making a large number of modifications to the whole network over the last two years and this flight i n itself i s sort of a dress rehearsal for our upcoming .first manned flight of the 101 Spacecraft. We have made a lot of changes, we've added a lot of equipment and we feel now that this flight w i l l he proof that all of that equipment i s ready to support our manned space flight program. About all 1 would like to add that we have completed our tralning to date with what I thirlk is good results a i d i t seems prepared to do whatever i s required to he done. I n terns of the facilities, our ground support facilities, computers, network, etc. ,are proceeding along normally with our part of the count to meet the pad's. We have no problems at this time, and based on past testing support and the CDDT we don't really expect any and we expect to be ready to Meet the pad launch in the morning and have a good flight. Okay, we are open now here in klouston for questiorrs, Assuming a lar~nchtomorrow morning, has anyone recalculated the apogee and perigee of the S-IVB, and how mzny degrees it wifi' miss the moon, and whether it wil! come hack to earth ? Mr. Kraft: Mr. Chaulesworth has. l t v e got a few nirrnbeus, 1 knew someone would ask. Assuming we launch on time, the best ififormation I have i s to expect the apogee of the S-IVS to be some 279 thousand 13autica.l miles. With a perigee, that i s wker; it comes back to the earth, of around 1700 m i l e s , with a period of some 16 clays. Now we don't expect it tc enter essentially the area of the moon's sphere of infiuence, i f we go on time. Nov~, i f you try to pin me down v1itl.1 launch delays or different days I can't t~onestfyanswer it becairse it i s a variable depending .on the time of the day you launch, location , day of the month, eir:. Question: What about i n reentering the atmosphere? LViII i t corrle back and dn that under ihe present plans. Mr. Kraft: The first time out i t d;oesnlt look like it will ,but the next time around i f we get into the spherz of the ~ O D ~ I ' Sit-rfiuence becatlse of the trajectory, i t could, It's probably a good probability that it w i l i come in. Any further questions Fiom I-louston here ? �Mr. King: Thank you. We'll continue the questions here as has been the practice and is the practice once again. Mr. Schneider passed oil a note t o me to remind me that he does have an airplane to catch. We w i l l continue this for a short while. Question: If we had t o put a dollar value on that beast out there from the top of the L E S down to the base of the model what would that figure be? Mr. Lodge:. We don't judge our program that way. It's kind of meaning!ess There are so, many things that you don't see that you pay for that there is no real way of coming up with what the dollar value i s of that. The do1lar value i s immense when you con sider the value to the United States. The value to the United States is incalculable. What it costs, I don't have any way of figurir~gout. Question: Rocco, how many times is it feasible to recycle back t o 24 minutes, Would you do it just one time or.. Mr. Petrorie: No. We have a multiple opportunity. We are looking for a rnaximum .of four.. That is going to depend upon many things. As far as gaseous hydrogen that we use to charge our bottles for the J-2 engine, we feel vde have 4 recycles that the time duration goes back t o T -24 does not mean'we w i l l go back and pick up and then yo in again. You have to loolc at data, look at the va,lues, lool<'at the occurenccs, the trends, temperatures and all, and wait for certain things to stabilize and then go i n again.. Right now we are hoping we have worked these values so that the First time tfirough, of course, is our best'gilkss. We will, based on what we see ar~dwhat we know happened Sunday be able to plot two points on the curve and make another extrapolation forward at the second attempt. Question: I am sure this w i l l be an easy one. How much damage from a monetary standpoint did this first Saturn V cost to the piid and how long did it take to fix it, and have you taken any steps to perhaps I~aveless damage this ti'me? Mr. Petrone: Yes. We have taken steps to hatie !ess damage. The items of the pad and launcher are sornewhai. sepamie. The launcher g2ts a l i t t l e more damage than the pad itself. \rVe would anticipate tl.~at,say for an average launch and what we found in 501, that we could have the pad in shape within 10 days to receive another launcher. The launcher itself is going to take longer in the neighborhood of thrcc weeks, and maybe Four. The monetary value we have not - - . . - ' - �collected as part of our refurbishment and maintenance, if you go into maintenafice items and refurbishment. However I must say that I was most pleased with the very limited damage on the 501 and I only hope it i s an indication of what we wil I continue to see i n the future. It was very, very minor in the larger picture. Question: Well, from a money standpoint, can you give us the ballpark. Was it under one hundred m i l lion? - It was more than $10. Somewhere along there must be faily close. Answeu: That's a pretty big broad spectrum you put out. Why don't we just use that? Question: You must be able to do better than that. No - let's say yes. It's between those two numbers. Question: Aviation Week i n the current issue says that if tomoru~w'sflight goes v~ell, there i s a good chance that tbe manned flight to the moon could go in the first half of 1969. Would you comment please? Mr. Low: There can be a lot of problems t o take yet between tomorrow's flight and the first fiight t:, the moon. Vde /lave to get manned flight i n Apallo in earth orbit and we have to do a number of earth orbital rendezvous flights on the Sziurn V, and then with the LM and the CSNI, f think it w i l l be a most difficuit'job to get the lunar landing by the end of 1969. 1 think we've got a very good chance of doing that. Question: Isense a certain ~'eiuctai~cc to talk about money. However, I have to press this question a little b i t to Mr. Schneider. In testimony before the sub-committee last fdair'ch 16, 1967, I believe it was, von Braun put a price tag, a fairly precise one of $205 million for a laut~chedSaturn V. Peopie at NASA tell me that that figure i s still kind of hanging and that's alright. Nr~wif von Braun can be as precise in 1967 when zsked by Congress about the price of a vehicle, why can't we be equally precise in 3-968 when aslced by the puess. I don't agree that this is just an editorial comment is pqssing it i s kind of meaningless to talk about the price of anything. Mr. Schneider: I am ;he mission clirectou - not the Senate director. As mission director I couldn't 'even tell rot! what u!lu bt~dgctis. I am not in that business. That's why i cannot answer that qtiestiot~. - �Question: Wel I , can anyone ? Answer: Nobody here at the table has the answer for you and we w i l l do our best to get it for you. We'll check. Question: For B i l l Schneider. Bill, just so I fairly accurately understand this point. If yoLi don't get a second stage burn of the S-IVB,have you met your primary mission objective? Can you man rate for 503 and start manned flights with 503? Mr. Schneider: The answer to the first one is no. We would not have met the primary mission objectives as stated in the document because they do include anS-IVB restart. The answer to the second question is it is perfectly coi~ceivablethat after analysis of the data we could 'find that the reason for restart failure had no implications on whether or not the vehicle was man-ratable. The first planned Saturn V mission does not currently include the manned restart of the S-IVB. - Question: For George Low. Why is the new hatch being flown aboard this spacecraft other than the fact i t was ready. Mr. Lovr: I guess you have almost answered your own question, Joe. We did at the time we made the decision on the nevi hatch know that we could not get it oil Spacecraft 017. LVe knew we c o ~ ~get l d it on Spacecraft 0 2 0 so we nloved it outand pit it on 0 20 t o get the best possible test of the hatch at the speeds, heat transfer rates, etc., but we have completed some very satisfactory ground tests. We have more to go and also we have seen the very low heating rate i n that area on Spacecraft 017 so that since that decision was made we have convinced ourselves that we don't need a flight test of this hatch for man rating pi.!rposes, Question: I have two short questions. The first one is what is the official lifting capacity of the Saturn V. Dr. Rudolph: Question: 2 0 0 , 0 0 0 pounds? Then this is an increase of 10,000 pounds i n about the last three or f o i i ~years is i t ? Dr. Rudolph: No. For the last 2 years, i f my nlernory serves pounds. rile right., 98,000 �Question: Second question. The S-IVB trajectory, and I siippose this might go to Mr. Charlesworth in Houston. I believe this is one of the few and possibly the only circ~imlunartrajectory that we have flown. Possibly there has been one, or maybe a scientific experiment has flown this way. As I understand it, this is an orbit that goes around both the Earth and the Moon - is it not - am I wrong about that? I see Mr. Schneider shaking his head. Weii, I can just add this. Is this the kind of trajectory that one would f l y i f one were flying men around the moon? Answer: In terms of energy imparted to the trajectory, yes. In terms of the actual taigeting , no. LVe are essentially shooting for a fictitioirs moon, so to,speal<. lye do not expect tcmorrovi for this trajectory to go around both the Earth and the Moon. We do not expect it to enter into the sphere of influence of the PJoon. Question: I'm a i i t t l e b i t confused about this S-IVB. We were told by Mr. Charleswouth that we had a 279,000 nautical mile apogee and a 1,700 nautical mile perigee. That is frain the Moon, is that right, or frorn the Earth? You just told Diet< Le\.vis it did not go aroilt?d both of them. W i l l somebody please maybe use a blackhoard and tell us what it is going to do. Mr. Charlesworth: i t goes out t o lunar distances, but it does not go around the Moon itself. Mr. Schneider: It is a high!y elliptical orbit that at its closest point ccmes within I! ,700 rriiles of the Eatth and at its furthest ciistance goes t o 279,060 miles f(om the Earth. Quest 'Ion: Wl~atis the lifetime? Answer: The period i s 26 days. Mr. Charlesworth: The period for this orbit, this I?igltly elliptical orbit, i s 16 days. When i t comes bzck through 2nd starts up, depending on where the Moon is, we will prciiabfy get some pertirrbatioix, it is difficult to predict-- 1 can't predict--wf~at ~ j i fl i,appen on the next pzss. It niay very li!ceiy rc"c1r.n is Earih. Let me p ~ i n out t that fcr the f i g ~ ~ r eused s fcr the S--IVB that i f you a:c o f f only a few feet per second or several ierlths af a cie<jr.cc it is going to have a Irernzncloils effect on the apctgee and perigee relative to the Earth. So yo\i shouldn't take t i i ~ f i nt l l i i i ~ k ? ! ' ~2 s gospel. �Question: i just want t o reiterate this point since it was raised again. As I understood, the ascent part, the orbit of the S-IVB would go around the Moon and then on its return would go around the Earth and then go back up to the Moon. Answer: Why don't t draw you a picture after we're done here. Question: One more time on the J-2's. Bid you detect this problem i n the CDDT? And also in some way you detected it today. I'm confused on that. Answer: Just on the C D D I ; Sort of been living with it ever since. Dr. Rudolph: Yes. Discussing it, analyzing it, looking at what shifts we should make. But in order to detect it, you have to have cryogenic support and go through your terminal sequence. Question: The fuel flow has to stail before you detect i t ? Dr. Rudolph: You don't have to start fuel flow. No, you've got static conditions of the fuel i n the pump. You've got a valve downstream of that pump. When you are measuring your temgeuature and pressure, geometry-wise just above the entrance to the engine itself. You do not measure the flow. We get the flow at ignitior~on the first stage. On the second stage there would not be flow until you start, actualiy 2-1/2 minutes into the mission. - Question: Mr. Schneider, if for some reason you are unable to mail rate this vehicle tomorrow, how firm are your plans to go t o a dua! laurrch concept using the Saturn IB after the 205 flight? Mr. Schneider: We have that i n our plans and we w i l l retain it in our plans. However, i f we do not have a satisfactcry Flight on t.l~isone, the 502 flight, our current plans are to go out with 503 boiler plates. Mow i f we do that. and that is a successful flight then it is conceiveable that we would go to the Saturn V matlned launch on the 504 and not clo a dual launch, but we w i l l retain that capability until some later date. Question: Jack., any pilots i n training and i f so how maily and w i l l they be watching it tomorrow. , Mr. King: We are supposed to be getting a list, George, of which astronauts w i l l be here for the launch. 1111 check on that as soon as this i s over and wllatevcr information we have we w i l l be glad to pass i t on. 1 certainly expect ve; wilt habe it by tonio;:roa rnorillng. �Question: i would like to ask one question. What are the reasons, a l l the reasons for the S-IVB shooting for this fictitious moon target? Dr. Rudolph: You would exeiScisethe antennas on the stage and find out whether you can communicate. That is, whether you can receive signals or can send signals up and have them bounce back, There i s certainly one very significant advantage and y.ou would also find out whether you achieved your velocities you are looking for. I would like to add something so that there is no misconception. The S-IVB has a guaranteed l i f e of about six hours, but we hope that w i l l go on ,to about 1 0 or I 1 hours. As you hcard earlier, this has a 15-day period, so we would only be able to get actual signals back from the S-lVB for those first 1 0 hours - not out at lunar distances. Question: I woilld like to pursue Mr. Lewis' questiori further. You said that the Saturn V is now rated to lift 1 0 0 , 0 0 0 pounds. The present weight, the payload for tornorrow, comes to just under 94,000 pounds, according to the press information. However, this is only a 6 , 0 0 0 pound lunar test a r t i ~ l e . The real load, as I understand it, w i l l be about 3 2 , 0 0 0 , maybe Inore, If we add this 6 , 0 0 0 we w i l l just barely make it w i t h 1 0 0 , 0 0 0 pounds of payload in a vehicle capable of l i f t i n g 9 0 0 , 0 0 0 pounds. Very marginal. Maybe Mr. LOW would l i k e to answer. Mr. Low: True. We do have a weiglit problem in Apollo. Comrnand Service modules and the lunar moduie are esscniialfy at the limit of w c i g i ~ t that we can fly.

Jacobi was born on January 13, 1918 in Saalfeld, Germany. On November 16, 1946, Jacobi arrived in the United States under Operation Paperclip with a group of 118 fellow scientists in Dr. Wernher von Braun’s team. The Paperclips started to work for the War Department of the United States at Fort Bliss, Texas, in White Sands, New Mexico, and finally in Huntsville, Alabama in 1950. The team continued to work on their rocket research, which culminated in the Apollo/Saturn Program and man landing on the moon in 1969. Jacobi spent his entire career with NASA; even in retirement, he followed the events and projects at NASA and the Marshall Space Flight Center.

(Detailed information about the Saturn V's three stages may be found <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/centers/johnson/rocketpark/saturn_v_first_stage.html">here, </a><a href="https://www.nasa.gov/centers/johnson/rocketpark/saturn_v_second_stage.html">here, </a>and <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/centers/johnson/rocketpark/saturn_v_third_stage.html">here.</a>) Wernher von Braun led the Saturn V team, serving as chief architect for the rocket. Perhaps the Saturn V’s greatest claim to fame is the Apollo Program, specifically Apollo 11. Several manned and unmanned missions that tested the rocket preceded the Apollo 11 launch. Apollo 11 was the United States’ ultimate victory in the space race with the Soviet Union; the spacecraft successfully landed on the moon, and its crew members were the first men in history to set foot on Earth’s rocky satellite. A Saturn V rocket also put Skylab into orbit in 1973. A total of 15 Saturn Vs were built, but only 13 of those were used.
