Fault detection monitor circuit provides ''self-heal capability'' in electronic modules - A concept
Self-checking technique detects defective solid state modules used in electronic test and checkout instrumentation. A ten bit register provides failure monitor and indication for 1023 comparator circuits, and the automatic fault-isolation capability permits the electronic subsystems to be repaired by replacing the defective module.

Apollo Program Management, Kennedy Space Center, Florida
The evolution of the Kennedy Space Center as the launch organization for Apollo/ Saturn V involved the concurrent solution of numerous complex problems. A significant increase in manpower was involved. Large and complex checkout and launch facilities were to be designed and constructed. Expansion of operational capabilities required the establishment and integration of a Government-Contractor operational team. From an initial cadre of approximately 200 civil service personnel of the Army Ballistic Missile Agency, transferred to NASA in 1960 following its establishment, expansion to the present civil service level of 2,900 occurred in the last seven years. Established within NASA as a directorate of the Marshall Space Flight Center, KSC achieved center status in 1962. With its designation as a Center, KSC accomplished the development and staffing of an organization that could perform procurement, resources, financial, and other management requirements formerly provided by the parent organization. In addition to continuing launch operations for established programs, KSC undertook the design and construction of large, new, and unique launch facilities for Apollo/Saturn V. With the expansion of the civil service work force, KSC integrated contractor organizations employing 23,000 personnel at the Center to perform specific operational and support missions under the technical supervision and observation of the Government team. The management techniques, organizational concepts, and continuing efforts utilized to meet the Apollo goals and challenges are discussed in this document.
