  "Digest of FY-65 Funded Advanced Studies:July 1966."

  This publication is one of a planned series to summarize the advanced study program for each fiscal year beginning with FY-61.A separate report will cover the study program for each fiscal year. The purpose of these documents is to provide reference information which should be helpful in planning future study programs. The FY-65 funded studies are covered in this document. These investigations are covered under four major headings: Launch Vehicle Studies, Earth Orbital and Lunar Studies, Planetary/Nuclear Studies, and AAP Studies. The information presented on each studyincludes a brief description of the objectives and pertinent contract data.

  "First Annual Logistics Management Symposium: September 13 and 14, 1966."

  The proceedings of the First Annual Logistics Management Symposium are forwarded with the hope that the information will be of assistance to attendees and their staffs in the planning and management of logistics support programs. I recognize that there is still much study required before all management techniques and procedures for support programs are known and understood, but I believe that support problems are made easier by exchange of knowledge. The Symposium was based on this belief and we plan to continue the search for ways to achieve better program support at a lower cost. Edmund F. O'Connor, Director, Industrial Operations.

  "Extensions of Saturn."

  This paper discusses the possible applications of Saturn vehicles to future space exploration. Potential missions utilizing Apollo derived hardware are examined. Research, development, and operations in earth orbit as well as lunar exploration, unmanned and manned interplanetary exploration are reviewed. These hypothetical missions are discussed in the context of the present and potential capability of three configurations of the Saturn vehicle; an uprated Saturn I, a three-stage Saturn V and a four-stage Saturn V. NOTE: Work presented herein was conducted by the Douglas Missiles and Space Systems Division under company-sponsored research and development funds. Therefore, the concepts and objectives described within this paper reflect the opinions of the authors and do not necessarily constitute endorsement by NASA, the Air Force, or any other U.S. Government organization. The nominal performance numbers presented are typical of the current configurations and possible future vehicle configurations.
