... the spacecraft. There was also a radio guidance system on the ground that controlled the booster from a place called GE Burroughs Corporation , and they had a radio guidance system that basically gave all the controls from the ground to the Titan booster. So the guidance officer had that control and then also he was responsible for updating ... , moved those into Apollo, changed them for what we needed to change because of the booster and the spacecraft differences. But as far as Kepler was concerned with the orbital maneuvers ...

... evaluate these data, captured by more than 530 instrumentation channels on the booster. When completed, two five-segment boosters and four RS-25 main engines will power SLS on deep space missions ... completed in March 2015 and demonstrated acceptable performance of the booster design at 90 degrees Fahrenheit – the highest end of the booster’s accepted propellant temperature range. Testing at the thermal extremes ...

... North American Aviation were building the command and service modules. Meanwhile, the guys working the booster spent a lot of time at the Marshall Space Flight Center MSFC, Huntsville, Alabama working ... in the air. One thing I remember the guys down in the booster console were saying, "The booster's okay. The booster's okay. It's guiding properly. We're all right." I ... sort of thing. Then sure enough, when you hit that first booster shutdown and staging and then the next booster kicking off, it's just exactly what everybody has called it: a ...

... whole vibrational characteristics and everything else,” because it would affect their engine controls on the booster. So I had a cartoon, which one case was looking at the whole rocket system ... these conflicting requirements which determined the size of the vehicle and the booster. General Dynamics was our subcontractor on the booster initially, and every time we changed the vehicle, you change the ...

... Corp. . The first Shuttle was supposed to have a booster that flew back home, and they launched the orbiter off of that booster, and it went into orbit with its propulsion system ... that name, and at the latter part of our studies, he proposed the solid boosters with the replaceable boosters and the throw-away tanks—tank, rather. So we all focused on that ... ? '''Feltz:''' The integration of the tiles was Orbiter's responsibility, okay? The integration of the boosters to the tank and the tank to the airplane, the Orbiter, was our responsibility to ...

... second two-minute, full-duration qualification ground test for the booster. It will provide NASA with critical data to support booster qualification for flight and test the motor at the colder end ... completed in March 2015 and demonstrated acceptable performance of the booster design at 90 degrees Fahrenheit -- the highest end of the booster’s accepted propellant temperature range. Testing at the thermal extremes ...

... loads on the boosters at impact by about 25%; thus reducing the amount of impact damage sustained by the boosters. Following launch and separation from the Space Shuttle , the boosters were recovered from the ocean, refurbished, and used on a later flight. According to Keith Henson, booster recovery subsystem ...

... NASA Research Announcement for the Space Launch System (SLS) Advanced Booster risk-reduction effort. NASA is looking for an advanced booster concept with the goal of reducing risk in the areas of ... of advanced booster technology to SLS. The 130-metric-ton evolved SLS vehicle will require a booster with a significant increase in thrust over existing U.S. liquid or solid boosters. This new ... course for the full-scale design and development of this new advanced booster," said Chris Crumbly, SLS Advanced Booster NRA evaluation team chair. "We& 39;re excited to see what ...

... the 2030s. The initial SLS configuration will use two five-segment solid rocket boosters similar to the solid rocket boosters that helped power the space shuttle to orbit. The evolved SLS vehicle ... further negotiations between NASA and selected organizations. All funded efforts will demonstrate and examine advanced booster concepts and hardware demonstrations during a 30-month period. This risk mitigation acquisition precedes the ...

... did all the analysis on the kinds of speed that you could achieve using different boosters… You essentially did all of this yourself. I mean, you were a one-person project ... there was some kind of a structural problem at the nose end of the Atlas booster, and a very intensive analytical structural analysis was undertaken by not only the Space Task ... . Well, the upshot was that, you know, there was finger-pointing in both directions. The booster people were pointing at the McDonnell adapter that held the vehicle and attached to the ...
