three covers progress during the period

3
00:00:24,439 --> 00:00:21,900
May June July August 1963 highlighting

4
00:00:26,420 --> 00:00:24,449
major effort concentrated in initiation

5
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:26,430
of fabrication of ground test stage

6
00:00:37,670 --> 00:00:34,770
components during this report period at

7
00:00:39,979 --> 00:00:37,680
Marshall s 1c efforts were primarily in

8
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:39,989
support of the test fuel tank and the

9
00:00:44,959 --> 00:00:43,050
static test stage the s 1c test fuel

10
00:00:47,389 --> 00:00:44,969
tank schedule has been delayed more than

11
00:00:54,049 --> 00:00:47,399
12 weeks by late documentation releases

12
00:00:56,389 --> 00:00:54,059
and manufacturing problems among the

13
00:00:58,369 --> 00:00:56,399
first problems encountered was excessive

14
00:01:01,250 --> 00:00:58,379
thin out in hydraulically bulge formed

15
00:01:02,959 --> 00:01:01,260
bulkhead gore segments compensatory skin

16
00:01:05,810 --> 00:01:02,969
mill blanks will be used in alleviating

17
00:01:08,090 --> 00:01:05,820
thin out also clapping pressure will be

18
00:01:13,940 --> 00:01:08,100
controlled to permit drawing of metal

19
00:01:16,100 --> 00:01:13,950
from around the margins of the die early

20
00:01:17,780 --> 00:01:16,110
in this report period pressure spike

21
00:01:20,330 --> 00:01:17,790
problems were also encountered with

22
00:01:22,730 --> 00:01:20,340
explosive forming a technique used is

23
00:01:24,830 --> 00:01:22,740
back up to the Bulge forming method use

24
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:24,840
of a neoprene blanket has alleviated the

25
00:01:34,010 --> 00:01:31,530
problem following chemical milling

26
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:34,020
a-tryin manual rework of some gore

27
00:01:38,450 --> 00:01:36,090
segments was required because of a non

28
00:01:39,469 --> 00:01:38,460
uniform edge rate to relieve the

29
00:01:44,770 --> 00:01:39,479
thickness problem

30
00:01:49,969 --> 00:01:48,139
despite the earlier difficulties MSFC

31
00:01:52,310 --> 00:01:49,979
accomplished Meridian welding on the

32
00:01:54,889 --> 00:01:52,320
first bulkhead the upper bulkhead for

33
00:01:56,780 --> 00:01:54,899
the test fuel tank during May and the

34
00:02:03,499 --> 00:01:56,790
closure plate was welded into complete

35
00:02:05,810 --> 00:02:03,509
the first bulkhead after trimming the

36
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:05,820
wiring mating edge of the first bulkhead

37
00:02:10,940 --> 00:02:07,890
was welded to the wiring in late May

38
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:10,950
during girth welding porosity problems

39
00:02:13,970 --> 00:02:13,410
were encountered repairs were successful

40
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:13,980
and the

41
00:02:18,380 --> 00:02:16,530
completed and accepted in August the

42
00:02:20,869 --> 00:02:18,390
porosity problem is being investigated

43
00:02:23,300 --> 00:02:20,879
several possible solutions are under

44
00:02:25,369 --> 00:02:23,310
study work is underway to complete a

45
00:02:34,070 --> 00:02:25,379
second bulkhead for use as the test

46
00:02:36,140 --> 00:02:34,080
tanks lower bulkhead in June

47
00:02:38,270 --> 00:02:36,150
Marshall finished welding on the upper

48
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:38,280
cylindrical skin section for the test

49
00:02:45,559 --> 00:02:43,530
fuel tank during July the first

50
00:02:48,259 --> 00:02:45,569
cylindrical skin section was welded to

51
00:02:51,020 --> 00:02:48,269
the Y ring fabrication of a second skin

52
00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:51,030
section was begun with Marshall and the

53
00:02:54,500 --> 00:02:52,650
responsible contractor is now

54
00:02:57,289 --> 00:02:54,510
satisfactorily solving major

55
00:03:00,589 --> 00:02:57,299
manufacturing problems test fuel tank

56
00:03:04,190 --> 00:03:00,599
completion is forecast in December at

57
00:03:06,020 --> 00:03:04,200
Wichita fabrication of the s1 CT dual

configuration thrust ring assembly

59
00:03:11,300 --> 00:03:09,030
fixture is underway however this and

60
00:03:13,130 --> 00:03:11,310
other items have been delayed because of

61
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:13,140
late documentation releases and

62
00:03:20,809 --> 00:03:15,690
consequently delayed component tooling

63
00:03:23,300 --> 00:03:20,819
construction at Michou during program

64
00:03:25,879 --> 00:03:23,310
review in early August Marshall and

65
00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:25,889
Boeing formed a joint task group to deal

66
00:03:30,379 --> 00:03:27,930
with the s1 CT problems

67
00:03:32,390 --> 00:03:30,389
Marshall expects to reduce the present

68
00:03:38,539 --> 00:03:32,400
delay to 12 weeks during the production

69
00:03:40,690 --> 00:03:38,549
phase the thrust structure assembly

70
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:40,700
fixture was completed at Wichita and

71
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:43,370
installation begun at Marshall in August

72
00:03:49,370 --> 00:03:46,650
during August sufficient gore segments

73
00:03:51,500 --> 00:03:49,380
for the first test 1ct bulkhead plus

74
00:03:54,319 --> 00:03:51,510
spare segments were received at Marshall

75
00:03:56,629 --> 00:03:54,329
however bulkhead gore fittings are still

76
00:04:01,220 --> 00:03:56,639
in delay due to a change in forging

77
00:04:04,309 --> 00:04:01,230
requirements installation of two f1

108
00:05:34,459 --> 00:05:32,129
on August 15th and contractors are

109
00:05:36,950 --> 00:05:34,469
correcting deficiencies that official

110
00:05:39,490 --> 00:05:36,960
occupancy was granted and full-scale

period steel erection is scheduled to

123
00:06:22,280 --> 00:06:19,730
at Rocketdyne the use of ablative

material in the f1 engine 16 to one

125
00:06:26,690 --> 00:06:24,300

126
00:06:29,540 --> 00:06:26,700
quarter with initial short duration

127
00:06:32,210 --> 00:06:29,550

the third firing the liner bond system

129
00:06:38,030 --> 00:06:35,390
failed and ablative material was ejected

130
00:06:40,130 --> 00:06:38,040
investigation revealed that failure was

131
00:06:42,410 --> 00:06:40,140
due to poor bond between a bladed

132
00:06:47,330 --> 00:06:42,420

stage was finished at complex beta

241
00:12:30,100 --> 00:12:28,279
during the report period hydrostatic

242
00:12:32,410 --> 00:12:30,110
test and calibration of the battleship

243
00:12:34,150 --> 00:12:32,420
stage tank was completed in late August

structural steel is being erected

251
00:12:59,829 --> 00:12:57,319
construction is behind schedule however

252
00:13:02,230 --> 00:12:59,839
because of delays and contract award

253
00:13:05,100 --> 00:13:02,240
present estimated start of hydrostatic

254
00:13:08,170 --> 00:13:05,110
stage assembly is November 30th a

255
00:13:10,509 --> 00:13:08,180
full-scale mock-up of the s4 be forward

256
00:13:12,730 --> 00:13:10,519
dome and skirt section has been shipped

257
00:13:15,429 --> 00:13:12,740
from Douglas to the Marshall Center for

258
00:13:26,900 --> 00:13:15,439
use in evaluating interface problems and

259
00:13:32,330 --> 00:13:30,050
at Rocketdyne evaluation tests of an

260
00:13:35,180 --> 00:13:32,340
initial design of a pressurized armored

261
00:13:37,670 --> 00:13:35,190
harness for use on the j2 engine were

262
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:37,680
held this quarter objective of the

263
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:40,170
harness is to provide complete moisture

264
00:13:44,450 --> 00:13:42,090
abrasion and heat protection of

265
00:13:50,170 --> 00:13:44,460
electrical and fuel lines when the

266
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:52,970
construction of j2 engine test stand

267
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:55,770
Delta 2 at Santa Susana is almost

268
00:14:00,920 --> 00:13:57,930
complete the stand will initially be

269
00:14:10,550 --> 00:14:00,930
used to static fire the j2 in duration

270
00:14:12,500 --> 00:14:10,560
up to 500 seconds at sea level a two

271
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:12,510
hundred twenty five foot tall exhaust

272
00:14:18,980 --> 00:14:15,930
stack at CTL five was installed to vent

273
00:14:25,820 --> 00:14:18,990
gases generated during j2 and f1 pump

274
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:25,830
tests a prototype hyperflow system of

275
00:14:31,190 --> 00:14:28,890
generating steam was also tested steam

276
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:31,200
is generated by injecting water into a

277
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:33,210
heat generating device which operates

278
00:14:38,450 --> 00:14:35,970
like a rocket engine steam is ejected

279
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:38,460
into a diffuser which lowers pressure in

280
00:14:43,370 --> 00:14:40,890
the altitude chamber to permit testing
