Lubrication considerations in design of gears
This paper presents some Marshall Space Flight Center preliminary vibration design and test criteria considerations for the space shuttle. The discussion is primarily concerned with the formulation of vibration criteria for the design and testing of the equipment installations on the shuttle. A recommended criteria format is presented with a discussion of when the vibration environment has to be considered in design and testing. A semiempirical method of predicting the vibration criteria for the shuttle from vibroacoustic structural data banks is presented. Some preliminary vibration criteria predictions are presented for the orbiter and booster equipment bays and for the main shuttle engine. A research testing program to determine the vibroacoustic transfer through a typical shuttle thermal protection system (TPS) panel configuration is described.

Radioisotope thermoelectric generator safety and operations considerations for users of large nuclear space power systems
The design considerations influencing the choice and utility of environmental simulation methods and facilities are described, insofar as they relate to the requirements imposed on outer planet spacecraft because of radiation environments to be expected. Possible means for duplicating the radioisotope thermoelectric generator radiation environment, and for duplicating the effects of the trapped radiation belt environment are described, together with an assessment of radiation levels to be expected in the vicinity of an environmental testing chamber when in use.
Problem areas are discussed and various solutions proposed. One of the major recovery problems encountered with missions having higher orbital inclinations than previous missions is the greater likelihood of severe weather conditions in the landing zones, especially if landing zones are optimized for orbital coverage considerations. Restricting the reentry window and increasing in-orbit wait times can partially eliminate the weather problem, but the possibility of emergency landings at higher latitudes still exists. It can be expected that the increased confidence level in spacecraft reliability that will exist by the time the high-inclination missions are flown will reduce the probabilities of an emergency landing in an unfavorable recovery location to a very low level.
