196
00:10:06,810 --> 00:10:03,160
two of which will be used for p stage

197
00:10:09,630 --> 00:10:06,820
at TEPCO post-test evaluation and design

198
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:09,640
of a pre prototype 150 pounds thrust

199
00:10:14,100 --> 00:10:12,010
attitude control engine was in progress

200
00:10:16,500 --> 00:10:14,110
because of development problems

201
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:16,510
encountered Marshall determined that

202
00:10:21,560 --> 00:10:19,330
Tapco would develop two engines of 150

203
00:10:24,060 --> 00:10:21,570
pounds thrust one for attitude control

vehicles the other to meet college

206
00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:29,620
requirements for Saturn 5 this decision

207
00:10:41,460 --> 00:10:31,690
was made in order that the Saturn 1b

208
00:10:43,830 --> 00:10:41,470
scheduled a major milestone in the f1

209
00:10:46,020 --> 00:10:43,840
engine program was achieved on schedule

210
00:10:48,540 --> 00:10:46,030
in September with the completion of the

211
00:10:53,820 --> 00:10:48,550

its acceptance testing to the large

216
00:11:11,460 --> 00:11:08,580
here test stand 1 b2 had been selected

217
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:11,470
for the static firing series a program

218
00:11:15,510 --> 00:11:13,210
in which the engine was subjected to

219
00:11:17,820 --> 00:11:15,520
operation under carefully prescribed

220
00:11:23,090 --> 00:11:17,830
