An outline of an interview with Wernher von Braun.

"Instrument Unit to Navigate Saturn IB's First Flight.".

Within the first 10 minutes of NASA's initial Saturn IB flight, the Instrument Unit (IU), nervecenter of America's mightiest launch vehicle, is designed to make more than 7 million calculations, sample vehicle calculations 100 times a minute, telemeter 3 million numbers back to Earth, and measure the performance of 300 pieces of equipment in the IU, S-IB, and S-IVB stages.

"Instrument Unit in Crucial Test."

A three-foot high Instrument tional Business Machines Corporation will be launched into orbit with a huge Saturn second stage
later this month in a crucial test for the Apollo lunar program.

"Instrumentation Programming for Computer Controlled Digital Data Processing."

A number of considerations are necessary in instrumentation programming, many of which are either not applicable or applicable to a lesser degree in other types of programming. This paper discusses these problems in general terms and illustrates how they have been dealt with specifically. The latter is done by describing the programming and operation of a data reduction system.

"Inspection of Welds on S-II-1."

Archive copy is a poor photocopy. Cannot read.

"Information About Pratt & Whitney Aircraft Florida Research and Development Center."

A history of Pratt and Whitney Aircraft Florida Research and Development Center.

"The Influence of Apollo/Saturn V Launch Operations on Lunar Site Selection: Case 330."

This paper presents some relationships between Apollo/Saturn V launch operations and multiple lunar landing sites, including the means by which site selection could facilitate launch operations.

"Improving the Uprated Saturn I."

This paper discusses five improved versions of the Uprated Saturn I that were studied by the Chrysler Corporation Space Division, supported by the Douglas Aircraft Corporation.

"IBM Mobile Room Lends Flexibility to Apollo Saturn Unit Fabrication."

This article was published in the April 1967 issue of Contamination Control, Volume VI, Number 4. States: "The extreme sensitivity of critical parts in the Apollo /Saturn Instrument Unit (IU) has demanded unique clean room techniques by International Business Machines Corporation."

"The IBM Clean Room Comes of Age."

A history of the IBM's Space Systems Center clean room and a description of its uses.

"Historical Summary on the Von Braun Missile Team."

"Historical Summary: S & ID Apollo Program."

Four and a half years have passed since President Kennedy and the United States Congress established a national goal of landing a man on the moon, before the end of the decade. This brief history is designed to be a working tool for use during the second half of this great adventure. It is expected that by presenting the events of the past in perspective this document will become a handy reference to accomplishments of the first half of the program. It is hoped that this volume will be of value to those directly and indirectly concerned with North American's portion of the Apollo program. This history contains a chronology of significant events, as well as material on the management of the program, a record of some of the breakthroughs in technology, a report of the hardware produced to date, and the many tests performed to man-rate the equipment.
