Apollo Flight Mission Assignments

Attached are approved Preliminary Flight Mission Assignment Summary and Preliminary Configuration and Flight Data Summary for:

a. Apollo/Little Joe I1 b. Apollo/Saturn I c. Apollo/Saturn I-B d. Apollo/Saturn V

The charts are essentially the same as those presented and discussed at the January 29, 1963 Management Council Meeting. Revisions to the charts have been made to depict the decisions of the Council.

The charts are for use by the Centers and OMSF Directorates for planning and implementing the flight test programs and other related activities.

Proposed changes shall be submitted to OMSF for review and coordination. Changes will be discussed in Systems Review Meetings, and subject to final approval by the Management Council.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

The purpose of this glossary i s to explain the various t e r m s used in describing launch vehicle and spacecraf t configurations on the Configuration and Flight Data Summary Charts contained herein. present nomenclature in use today. attempt will be made to standardize on these t e rms .

The t e r m s reflect the In future revisions of these char t s , an

I. Launch Vehicle:

A.

B.

E- D.

E.

F.

Inert stage i s defined a s one that is inactive, essentially non- functioning, such as s t ruc tura l shells o r dummies for simulation of weight, center of gravity and aerodynamic configuration.

Live stage is defined a s one that is functioning to the extent that the systems per form to accomplish flight mission objectives. Such a stage is not necessar i ly representative of the finalized systems.

Operational stage is defined as one wherein all sys tems a r e completely functioning and is , therefore , representative of the final design. R & D sys tems (e. g. instrumentation) a r e removed.

R & D guidance sys tem i s defined a s a model of a sys tem that is suitable for flight evaluation of fo rm, design, and performance (implying requirements for fur ther refinements).

Prototype guidance sys tem is defined a s one that i s representat ive of the operational configuration, but containing R & D sub-systems.

Operational guidance sys tem is same a s that for an operational stage ( see I. C. above).

11. Spacecraft:

A. Boilerplate i s a simulated module with an in te r im s t ruc tu re , and i s a heavy-weight sys tem for use in pre-developmental and developmental t es t s leading to the design of a spacecraf t module. It i s manufactured using soft tooling and will c a r r y such spacecraf t sys tems as necessa ry to c a r r y out the par t icular mission involved.

Glossary of T e r m s Continued

B. Airframe (AFRM) i s a module manufactured with hard tooling for use in developmental tests o r operational flights. It is a flight-weight system and will c a r r y such spacecraf t systems as necessary to accomplish the mission involved.

C. Production implies that a module has been produced with assembly line techniques, utilizing ha rd tooling. Such i tems a r e normally utilized in operational flights.
