This Internal Note presents the development of the Saturn inflight photographic instrumentation program from its original development requirement concept to the flight hardware application on Saturn vehicles. A comprehensive description of the infight photographic instrumentation system is given along with data concerning testing, operation, application, and evaluation of the system after recovery. This Internal Note shows that the system has been successfully developed,that valuable information has been obtained from film retrieved from recovered capsules, and that the system can be used with a high degree of reliability.
The results of an OMSF AS-201 Interlock and RCA 110A Computer Review were published. Recognizing that this was a "quick look", it was determined that a more detailed approach should be taken with respect to interlocks for the duration of the Saturn IB-V program.
The leaflet outlines the history of Saturn launches and gives a physical description of the rocket. The description includes a diagram of each stage; specifications of each stage's thrust, propellants, liftoff weight, and burning time; and engine specifications.
The Workshop project calls for changing a spent Saturn S-IVB propulsion stage into. living and working quarters after it has propelled itself into space.
As this paper is being written, the Saturn I flight test program includes five flights launched between October, 1961 and January, 1964. All five fiights were complete successes, both in achieving all major test missions and in obtaining an unprecedented volume of system performance data for flight analysis.
Speech to be delivered to Joint AIAA/ASME Student Chapters Meeting, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Tennessee. Speech focusing on their future endeavors and missions into space.
