THE MERCURY CAPSULE ATTITUDE CONTROL SYSTEM
Abstract
In accordance with the basic design concepts of the Mercury Capsule, the manual and automatic control systems were developed to provide a redundant and integrated method of controlling the capsule attitude. The systems were designed to meet the requirements of ballistic and orbital flight, for normal and abort missions. Since the orbital mission includes all modes of control, it will serve as a basis for the system description.
