  • "The use of wind shears in the design of aerospace vehicles."

    Prepared for presentation at the 23rd Meeting of the Structures and Materials Panel, AGARD, October 4-11,1966, ONERA, Paris, France.; ABSTRACT: The relative influence of various wind profile properties and disturbances on launch vehicle flight dynamic response is studied. Particular emphasis is placed on the influence of wind shears and turbulence on dynamic response during the boost phase of the flight. Four hundred and seven individual detailed (Jimsphere) wind profiles are the primary wind inputs for this analysis. Time response of the vehicle to each profile is computed and a statistical evaluation of the results made. Results are obtained for the Saturn V space vehicle and conclusions drawn as to the relative influence of wind shears and turbulence vs the degree of refinement of the dynamic model of the space vehicle.

  • "The significance of parameters affecting the heat transfer to the liquid hydrogen in the Saturn S-IVB stage for the lunar orbit rendezvous mission."

    The Saturn S-IVB stage has a requirement for orbiting around the earth for up to 4.5 hours with approximately 60 percent of its initial propellant remaining at the end of the coast (prior to restart) . Extensive analyses must be performed to insure that this requirement is met. Both the maximum and minimum heat transfer rates are important because the maximum rates affect the hydrogen boiloff losses and thus the initial propellant loading requirements. The minimum rates are important because the boil off gases are used to maintain a minimum axial thrust level by venting the gases continuously through aft facing nozzles. This provides for a settling of the propellant throughout the orbital coast and alleviates the need for periodically venting the tank under zero gravity.
  • "The Season's Greetings."

    This greeting card was sent from M. Louis Salmon in Vienna, Austria to his parents in Mobile, Alabama at Christmas 1945. The inscription reads, "Your devoted son, Louis."
  • "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.
  • "The Saturn S-II."

    The S-II is the second stage of NASA's Apollo moon-landing rocket - the giant Saturn V. The most powerful hydrogen-fueled booster under production, the S-II is destined for Apollo manned lunar missions and will help power three Americans to the moon. The S-II is being developed and manufactured at Seal Beach, Calif., by North American's Space and Information Systems Division, Downey, Calif., under the technical direction of NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Ala.
