Acoustic and vibration data from Atlas E and F series vehicle flights
Environment for manned space fight
This paper will concern our large space carrier vehicles--the ones we are now using and will use in the future to undertake inplanetary investigations and to accomplish the manned space flight programs discussed in the preceding papers. This review of our large space carrier vehicles will be limited to descriptions and capabilities and will not include operational employment.
There has been so much recent information put out on the orbital flight and on Project Mercury that I thought that, rather than give details of the flight and Project, I would discuss briefly some of the general aspects of space flight.
Structural dynamics major concern for Ares I - Highest slenderness ratio of any vehicle ever flown - First bending mode within control bandwidth - Phase stabilization of first bending mode required - Gain stabilization of higher modes Ares I-X provided early flight test of first stage flight for model and modeling method validation - Dynamically scaled at liftoff - Dummy upper stage, Orion/LAS, and 5th segment Made with surplus materials… - Booster & TVC – expired Shuttle RSRM - RoCS – disassembled from Peace Keeper ICBM - BDM’s and BTM’s – Old Shuttle BSM motors - Avionics – Atlas V
