Postflight analysis of Apollo 8 mission. Apollo 8 was the second manned flight in the program and the first manned lunar orbit mission. The crew were Frank Borman, Commander; James A. Lovell, Command Module Pilot; and William A. Anders, Lunar Module Pilot. The Apollo 8 space vehicle was launched on time from Kennedy Space Center, Florida, at 7:51:00 AM, EST, on December 21, 1968. Following a nominal boost phase, the spacecraft and S-IVB combination was inserted - into a parking orbit of 98 by 103 nautical miles. After a post-insertion checkout of spacecraft systems, the 319-second translunar injection maneuver was initiated at 2:50:37 by reignition of the S-IVB engine.

The maintenance and development of NASTRAN has been centralized at the Langley Research Center in the NASTRAN Systems Management Office (NSMO ). Several important system improvements are in progress which will result in a significant reduction of average computer run time. The maintenance contractor, MacNeal-Schwendler, is also engaged in the addition of comprehensive substructuring capability. A dummy element capability which allows the test, evaluation, checkout, and temporary use of a new element in the NASTRAN environment is also underway and planned for inclusion in Level 15. Several new elements and a comprehensive heat transfer capability are in development under a contract with the Bell Aerospace Company. These enhancements are planned for inclusion in Level 16. In summary, NASTRAN has emerged as a powerful , generalized facility for the analysis of complex aerospace structures and is rapidly gaining acceptance from the community of aerospace and industrial users. NASA is, therefore, committed to manage and maintain the NASTRAN system as a valuable national resource.
