  • "Nondestructive testing of space vehicle liquid propellant rocket engines."

    Presented at the Western Metals Congress, Los Angeles, California, 15 March 1967.; Archive copy is a photocopy.; ABSTRACT: This report describes the various nondestructive test methods employed to evaluate materials and processes used in the manufacture of large liquid propellant rocket engines at the Rocketdyne Division of North American Aviation, Inc. The contents of the paper were purposely oriented for an audience of aerospace, design and materials engineers. A brief description of liquid propellant rocket engine reliability is presented. The relationship of standards and specifications to nondestructive testing is discussed and various test methods are described along with a discussion of their applications and limitations. The sequence of events leading up to the use of nondestructive testing in production inspection is presented. Finally, the organization of labor directly related to nondestructive testing is given.
  • "Noise reduction study in a scaled model acoustic test facility."

    The acoustic properties of five insulation materials were investigated in a 1/10- scale model acoustic facility. The materials were designed for applications in space vehicles. The model facility, consisting of a reverberation chamber coupled to an anechoic chamber, was evaluated for its use in noise reduction testing. It was found that a reasonably diffuse sound field existed above 900 Hertz. Modal density graphs of the reverberation chamber and spatial acoustic gradients measured within the chamber and across the test panel opening are compared to an idealized facility.; Prepared for the 75th Meeting of the Acoustical Society of America,Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. May 21 - 24, 1968.

  • "Apollo/Saturn consolidated instrumentation plan for AS-204/LM-1."

    This report represents the consolidated instrumentation plan for employing optical and electronic data acquisition systems to monitor the performance and trajectory of the Apollo/Saturn 1B vehicle, AS-2 04/LM-1, during powered flight. Telemetry and electronic tracking equipment on board the vehicle, and data acquisition systems monitoring the flight are discussed. Flight safety instrumentation and vehicle data transmission are described, and geophysical information is provided. This plan reflects the general instrumentation coverage requirements set forth in the NASA Program Support Requirements Document (PSRD) for Apollo/Saturn 16, and the commitments of Eastern Test Range (ETR) Operations Directive (OD) No. 4206,dated 15 August 1967. This plan is not intended to conflict with or to supersede either document. The information presented in this document reflects planning concepts developed prior to October 1, 1967.
