evaluation review held in Rocketdyne in

193
00:09:18,210 --> 00:09:16,209
June it was determined that

194
00:09:20,759 --> 00:09:18,220
qualification testing would begin in

195
00:09:23,490 --> 00:09:20,769
August at the rocket engine test site at

196
00:09:27,030 --> 00:09:23,500
Edwards California to prove engine

197
00:09:29,009 --> 00:09:27,040
performance and design parameters the

198
00:09:32,069 --> 00:09:29,019
first in the series of firings was held

199
00:09:32,699 --> 00:09:32,079
on August 1st the program is expected to

200
00:09:35,220 --> 00:09:32,709
be finished

201
00:09:37,860 --> 00:09:35,230
during September one engine is being

202
00:09:40,290 --> 00:09:37,870
used for safety limits testing and the

203
00:09:42,210 --> 00:09:40,300
other for duration testing requiring a

204
00:09:52,590 --> 00:09:42,220
total of two thousand two hundred fifty

205
00:09:54,569 --> 00:09:52,600
seconds firing time the quoi to test

206
00:09:58,769 --> 00:09:54,579
series for a qualification of the

207
00:10:01,410 --> 00:09:58,779
upgraded 230,000 pounds thrust j2 engine

208
00:10:03,900 --> 00:10:01,420
was initiated by Rocketdyne in early

209
00:10:06,780 --> 00:10:03,910
August and in Santa Susana California

210
00:10:09,389 --> 00:10:06,790
test site testing will continue next

211
00:10:14,069 --> 00:10:09,399
quarter the series will comprise 30

212
00:10:16,620 --> 00:10:14,079
tests totaling 3750 seconds an R&D

00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:16,630
program simulating the form of Wow -

214
00:10:22,319 --> 00:10:19,930
testing was completed in July with 34

215
00:10:24,090 --> 00:10:22,329

221
00:10:40,620 --> 00:10:38,319
test firings was held on August 27th

222
00:10:42,509 --> 00:10:40,630
after successful completion of several

223
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:42,519
months efforts to overcome all problems

224
00:10:48,150 --> 00:10:45,850
of environmental control the test

225
00:10:51,210 --> 00:10:48,160
program is presently planned to extend

226
00:10:53,550 --> 00:10:51,220
through June 1967 with an estimated

227
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:53,560
three firings per month including

228
00:10:59,550 --> 00:10:56,050
several altitude restarts of the engine

229
00:11:01,739 --> 00:10:59,560
the huge test cell largest of its type

230
00:11:05,550 --> 00:11:01,749
can simulate altitude and thermal

231
00:11:08,340 --> 00:11:05,560
environment at 125,000 feet about 25

232
00:11:10,889 --> 00:11:08,350
miles tests will duplicate conditions of

233
00:11:20,579 --> 00:11:10,899
the j2 on the ground and during boost

234
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:20,589
first burn Coast and second burn ground

235
00:11:24,769 --> 00:11:22,930
testing of Saturn 5 instrument units

236
00:11:26,670 --> 00:11:24,779
moved into its final phases

237
00:11:29,519 --> 00:11:26,680
environmental tests on the flight

238
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:29,529
