The engine weight, mass properties data, and engine design criteria and specifications are presented for a 1.2 million-lb sea-level thrust pressure-fed LOX/RP-1 engine. Engine trade study weight data are included.
Work done by the Census Cities Project during 1971 is outlined. The project is designed to detect urban changes in land resource utilization from remote high altitude aircraft and earth orbiting satellite sensors, aid metropolitan regional planners, and provide urban land use maps for various areas. Land use maps are given of several areas observed during 1971.
The laboratory will be launched on Apr. 30, 1973, aboard a Saturn V vehicle. Approximately twenty-three and a half hours later the first crew will be launched in a command and service module aboard a Saturn IB launch vehicle. The laboratory will consist of modules. The orbital workshop (OWS) is made from the liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen tanks of a Saturn S-IVB third stage. The OWS contains the living quarters and two experiments areas. The airlock sits on top of the OWS and contains the controls and hatch for the extra-vehicular activity.
The Space Shuttle Program is still in Phase B, a phase consisting predominantly of paper analyses and trade studies leading to the selection of a single design. A brief history of the program up to Phase B is discussed together with the results of the original year-long Phase B effort, and the objectives of the Phase B extension currently in work. A Lockheed study is discussed together with a Grumman/Boeing study, Phase B contractor results, displays and controls, simulations, and the flight test.
