  • "Flat Cable Engineering Studies for Saturn S-IVB Vehicles."

    This paper describes the engineering approaches, investigations, results and conclusions of two National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) flat-cable contracts from the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) to the Douglas Aircraft Company, Inc., for feasibility studies on the S-IVB stage of the Saturn Vehicle. In addition, the objectives and approaches for a third contract., "Flat-Cable Engineering Study", are discussed. A sister Douglas Paper No. 4186, to be presented by Dr. P. L. Hill, covers in detail the manufacturing aspects of the Flat-Cable Development Program.; Prepared by R.A. Klotz, Advance applications, Saturn Electronics, Missile and Space Systems Group, McDonnell Douglas Corporation for presentation at: IPC/EDN Flat-Cable Seminar, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California, 20 June 1967.
  • "Flight Control Computer for Saturn Space Vehicles."

    The flight control computer for Saturn receives attitude signals from the stable platform, rate signals from rate gyros or lead networks, and angle-of-attack information from body-fixed accelerometers or other sensors.
  • "Flight Evaluation of the Command and Communication System Aboard AS-501."

    The first test of the command and communications system, a unified frequency S-band system, aboard AS-501 was successful. Compatibility of this system with the MSFN/USB sites was established. The onboard transponder and antenna system including antenna switching performed as predicted. The command performance was excellent with 5747 valid commands received onboard out of 5748 commands transmitted. Data reduction problems prevented a complete analysis of the tracking data. Telemetry system performance was satisfactory with a measured bit-error-rate of 4 x10-5 while over the Ascension Island station. This flight provided valuable data which can be used to define vehicle to-ground-station interfaces, to establish attitude constraints during translunar injection, and to improve operational procedures. One more test as successful as the AS-501 test would qualify the system as operational.; May 3,1968.
  • "Flight Software Development Laboratory."

    A man-in-the-loop computer facility has been created using a digital computer, display terminal,and space vehicle flight computer to enable programmers to check out flight programs in a simulated space flight environment. The simulation requires a real time multi-programmed environment, which is supplied by a control system capable of scheduling programs on 32 levels of priority interrupt as well as answering demands for service at the display terminal. A special interface device permits visibility and control of the flight program as it executes in the flight computer. On-line inputs from the programmer at the display terminal and outputs from data collection and reduction routines to the display screen are executed in real time. The Flight Software Development Laboratory has proved to be very useful in reducing program preparation time and increasing flight program confidence.
