... didn’t have the flight experience on it, we had three AC inverters. However, we only ran one AC inverter per each one of our AC buses, so the third one was ... reliable, and we never really had to rely on the third inverter. The only time we used the third inverter is when we had to do powerdowns for other reasons to keep ... lightning strikes right after launch. The fuel cells got disconnected from the buses, the AC inverters all got disconnected from the AC buses, and those two events there just lit up ...

... , and the configuration that we first came up with was a cone—looked like an inverted ice-cream cone—and found out it was a very unstable type of thing. So ... stability of these blunt shapes. We finally ended up with two configurations. One was the inverted ice-cream cone with a very long cylinder on the back end, which made it ... were a lot of things, but the Apollo certainly, configuration of the ice-cream cone inverted, was the simplest of all designs. '''Ross-Nazzal:''' What were some of the other topics ...

... what it was at some point, and then a few minutes later the inverters kicked off line, which the inverters were what generated the AC power in the thing. When that happened ... kicked on when you got the first master alarm, and they kicked off when the inverters kicked off. Basically what we determined afterwards was that they had what they called an ...

... until Spacecraft descended to point of feeling .05 g. Then, in final orbit, trouble in inverter caused loss of automatic control system altogether. Post­flight examination of FAITH 7 circuitry traced .05 g Signal and inverter failure to independent electrical connectors that failed to function due to moisture; in bath cases ...

... Observatory I OGO I had received ground-administered "shock treatments" to correct faulty inverter. Continued malfunctioning of inverter, which supplied power for rotation of solar panels to maintain proper angle to the ...

... but surely, having an electrical fire from my relays; and they did short out the inverters. So, eventually I lost my total electrical system. '''Neal:''' You lost the total electrical system ... of the spacecraft. The noise level in Mercury was really quite high because of the inverters and the motors and all the things running right in the same shell you were ...

... on Earth for that matter. If it’s due to an impact facet, it inverts—it’s an inverted flap; so if you’re sampling up a ray, the farther-out stuff ...
