Stepping drive has been designed for precise incremental angular positioning of scale models of spacecraft about a horizontal axis in order to accurately measure antenna receiving and transmitting characteristics. Positioning is insured by spring-loaded, self-locking plungers.
Newton gravitational constant determination from measured acceleration and known magnitude of masses, describing control system
Mariner attitude control system limit cycle operation during cruise, noting variation from ideal case to single side operation
Various combinations of stainless steel, mild steel, and aluminum bolt-nut couples are tightened to 60 lb-ft in partial vacuum and in air. Results are given for tests with and without two lubricants /a fluorosilicone and a sodium silicate bonded dry-film/.

A control moment gyroscope assembly is described for use in an astronaut maneuvering research vehicle. This vehicle (backpack) will be used by astronauts inside the orbiting Skylab for evaluation of various maneuvering systems.
A circular cylinder of finite dimensions is made to rotate around a sphere fixed in the center of the cylinder. The couple on the sphere is measured over a wide range of rotational speeds for both Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. For the Newtonian liquids a comparison of the experimental results is made with Collins' (1955) expansion of the couple as a series in even powers of the angular Reynolds number. For non-Newtonian liquids the apparatus proves to be extremely useful for an accurate determination of the zero shear rate viscosity using only a small amount of fluid.
System stabilizes aximuth of gondolas which are carried by high-altitude balloons as platforms for tracking telescopes. When telescopes must be constantly aimed at specific targets, control system stabilizes gondola to within 5 arc-seconds.
