engine to be delivered there by

220
00:11:36,269 --> 00:11:33,669
Rocketdyne was installed in the newly

221
00:11:39,119 --> 00:11:36,279
completed s4 be battleship test and in

222
00:11:41,699 --> 00:11:39,129
April initial static firings will be for

223
00:11:53,730 --> 00:11:41,709
the Saturn 1b program the stand will be

224
00:12:00,460 --> 00:11:57,790
as part of its f1 engine casting quality

225
00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:00,470
control program Rocketdyne is now

226
00:12:04,780 --> 00:12:02,690
employing the high-energy x-ray service

227
00:12:08,110 --> 00:12:04,790
of the Southern California Cancer Center

228
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:08,120
the 2 million volt x-ray machine used

229
00:12:12,070 --> 00:12:09,890
for cancer diagnosis and treatment

230
00:12:14,470 --> 00:12:12,080
during the day is utilized in the

231
00:12:17,590 --> 00:12:14,480
evening for radiography of f1 engine

232
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:17,600
cast components high-energy x-ray

233
00:12:21,820 --> 00:12:19,370
inspection has several advantages over

234
00:12:24,310 --> 00:12:21,830
conventional methods including deep

235
00:12:26,620 --> 00:12:24,320
penetration of up to 12 inches of steel

236
00:12:29,710 --> 00:12:26,630
equivalent greater scope of penetration

237
00:12:33,420 --> 00:12:29,720
and a sensitivity which permits 1%

238
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:33,430
difference in metal density to be read

239
00:12:37,870 --> 00:12:36,170
by the end of April thermal insulation

240
00:12:40,269 --> 00:12:37,880
had been installed on engine number

241
00:12:43,060 --> 00:12:40,279
fourteen - one at edwards field

242
00:12:45,460 --> 00:12:43,070
laboratory extended hold tests were then

243
00:12:46,810 --> 00:12:45,470
conducted by dropping locks and fuel to

244
00:12:49,060 --> 00:12:46,820
the main propellant valves and

245
00:12:51,370 --> 00:12:49,070
monitoring ambient air temperatures and

00:12:56,350 --> 00:12:51,380
component skin temperatures inside the

247
00:12:58,060 --> 00:12:56,360
cocoon several fabricated electrical

248
00:13:00,250 --> 00:12:58,070
interface panels were built and tested

249
00:13:02,590 --> 00:13:00,260
during the quarter these panels are

250
00:13:07,660 --> 00:13:02,600
constructed of machined parts and formed

251
00:13:09,310 --> 00:13:07,670
sheet metal parts bolted together the

252
00:13:11,829 --> 00:13:09,320
testing procedure was similar to that

253
00:13:14,470 --> 00:13:11,839
used on the cast version preliminary

254
00:13:16,389 --> 00:13:14,480
analysis of test data indicates that the

255
00:13:20,460 --> 00:13:16,399
fabricated panel is structurally

256
00:13:22,930 --> 00:13:20,470

fabrication operation to Neosho was made

273
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:11,370
to take advantage of manufacturing

274
00:14:15,560 --> 00:14:13,410

facility construction progressed

390
00:20:18,270 --> 00:20:14,950
steadily this quarter on the test

391
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:18,280
complexes to s2 stage static test stands

392
00:20:24,420 --> 00:20:21,250
and the dual position s1 c stage static

00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:24,430
test stand as well as on the associated

394
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:26,770
facilities in mt F's laboratory and

395
00:20:34,410 --> 00:20:29,290
engineering complex and support services

396
00:20:36,990 --> 00:20:34,420
complex an activation task force was

397
00:20:39,090 --> 00:20:37,000
also at work at MTF to help provide an

398
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:39,100
orderly transition from construction and

399
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:41,290
equipment installation to operational

400
00:20:48,930 --> 00:20:43,810
capability as various facilities are

401
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:48,940
completed delivery of the s2 stages for

402
00:20:54,360 --> 00:20:51,730
testing at MTF has been rescheduled with

403
00:20:56,700 --> 00:20:54,370
the s2 t all systems due to be the first

404
00:21:00,120 --> 00:20:56,710
instead of the facilities checkout stage

405
00:21:02,250 --> 00:21:00,130
the s2 t a multi-purpose ground test

406
00:21:04,650 --> 00:21:02,260
stage slated for delivery in september

407
00:21:06,810 --> 00:21:04,660
will allow a full duration static firing

408
00:21:09,660 --> 00:21:06,820
capability providing additional data

409
00:21:12,060 --> 00:21:09,670
prior to firing s21 the change also

410
00:21:14,700 --> 00:21:12,070
allows more expeditious use of s2 t

411
00:21:20,580 --> 00:21:14,710
ground support equipment relieving an s

412
00:21:24,330 --> 00:21:20,590
