  • A Pictorial History of Rockets
    he mighty space rockets of today are the result A Pictorial Tof more than 2,000 years of invention, experi- mentation, and discovery. First by observation and inspiration and then by methodical research, the History of foundations for modern rocketry were laid. Rockets Building upon the experience of two millennia, new rockets will expand human presence in space back to the Moon and Mars. These new rockets will be versatile. They will support Earth orbital missions, such as the International Space Station, and off- world missions millions of kilometers from home. Already, travel to the stars is possible. Robotic spacecraft are on their way into interstellar space as you read this. Someday, they will be followed by human explorers. Often lost in the shadows of time, early rocket pioneers “pushed the envelope” by creating rocket- propelled devices for land, sea, air, and space. When the scientific principles governing motion were discovered, rockets graduated from toys and novelties to serious devices for commerce, war, travel, and research. This work led to many of the most amazing discoveries of our time. The vignettes that follow provide a small sampling of stories from the history of rockets. They form a rocket time line that includes critical developments and interesting sidelines. In some cases, one story leads to another, and in others, the stories are inter- esting diversions from the path. They portray the inspirations that ultimately led to us taking our first steps into outer space. NASA’s new Space Launch System (SLS), commercial launch systems, and the rockets that follow owe much of their success to the accomplishments presented here.

Apollo 1, known at that time as AS (Apollo Saturn)-204 would be the first manned spaceflight of the Apollo program, and would launch a few months after the flight of Gemini 12, which had occurred on 11 November 1966. Although Gemini 12 was a short duration flight, Pilot Buzz Aldrin had performed three extensive EVA’s (Extra Vehicular Activities), proving that Astronauts could work for long periods of time outside the spacecraft.

  • Saturn V Data and Launch History Resized
    Saturn V 50th Anniversary Commemorative Evening, November 8, 1967. AS-501 / Apollo 4, Pad 39A, KSC, FL. The Saturn V Launch Vehicle With a capacity to boost a payload of 260,000 lb. into low Earth orbit, or a 100,000 lb. payload into a lunar trajectory, the Saturn V remains the most powerful launch vehicle yet to leave the Earth's atmosphere. It was capable of placing in orbit a payload more than four times heavier than the future Space Shuttle could lift, and was six times more powerful than the next largest expendable rocket of its day. The Saturn V was designed by NASA engineers at the Marshall Space Flight Center, (MSFC), in Huntsville, AL, under the direction of Dr. Wernher von Braun. Development began in January, 1962. A total of fifteen vehicles were produced. Thirteen flew missions. Characteristics Overall length: 281 ft. (booster), 363 ft. (with spacecraft). Maximum diameter: 33.0 ft. Weight at liftoff: 6,423,000 lbs. Trans-lunar payload capability approximately 107,350 lbs. Earth orbit payload capability, (two stage configuration); 212,000 lbs. Stages First Stage, (S-IC); Contractor: Boeing Assembled: New Orleans, LA . Length: 138 ft. Diameter: 33 ft. Weight: 5,022,674 lbs. fueled / 288,750 lbs. dry. Engines: F-1 (x5) Designed and manufactured by Rocketdyne, Canoga Park, CA. Propellants: LOX (Liquid Oxygen) / RP-1 (Kerosene.) Thrust: 7,610,000 lbs. During the production run, the F-1 was redesigned and up-rated in preparation for the later "J Series" of extended lunar missions. These missions carried heavier payloads. With up-rated engines, the S-IC produced 7,724,000 lbs.

IAC-13-E6.2.6 x19035 INDUSTRIAL INNOVATION CYCLE ANALYSIS OF THE ORBITAL LAUNCH VEHICLE INDUSTRY Julio Aprea European Space Agency, France, [email protected] Ulfert Block European Space Agency, France, [email protected] Emmanuelle David Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt e.V., Germany, [email protected] The analysis in this paper provides an initial look at the Orbital Launch Vehicle Industry within the Model for Industrial Innovation, proposed by James M. Utterback and William J. Abernathy in their article “Patterns of Industrial Innovation” (1978). The paper starts with a summary of the Abernathy-Utterback Model, its phases (fluid, transitional and specific) and its characteristics, the concept of dominant design and the focus on product and process innovation. This work then analyses the Orbital Launch Vehicle industry from a historical perspective of its major innovations and compares the development of this industry with the Abernathy-Utterback Model. It as well highlights some interesting current developments and analyses certain technology innovations that will likely shape the industry in the future, namely serial production and incremental degrees of reusability. Based on this analysis this paper finally draws some preliminary conclusions and proposes future work on the subject. INTRODUCTION at defining the elements of the dominant design and This paper is part of a series of papers aiming at determining which phase of the Innovation Model we analysing the different sectors of the space industry are currently experiencing. from the point of view of different innovation models and industry structure theories.

Marshall S’uce Fght Center, Hmtsuille, Alabama TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM X-53158 SATURN IB LIQUID HYDROGEN ORBITAL EXPERIMENT DEFINITION I' Compiled By Advanced Studies Office George C. Marshall Space Flight Center Huntsville , Alabama ABSTRACT A Liquid Hydrogen Orbital Experiment is defined, using Saturn IB iaunch vehicle SA-203, which will demonstrate the adequacy of the S-IVB/V continuous vent and propellant settling system prior to a Saturn V launch. The state -of-the -art knowledge of cryogenic propellant behaviour under weightless environment will be significantly advanced by this observation of transient effects on liquid hydrogen through two television cameras mounted on the manhole cover of the S-IVB stage LH2 tank. The experiment justification, objectives, and S-IVB stage instrumentation are presented in detail.
