Apollo spacecraft nonmetallic materials applications

The applications of nonmetallic materials to the structures of Apollo spacecraft are discussed. The spacecraft components are examined and the rationale behind the use of specific nonmetallic materials is presented. The emphasis is on the compatibility of the materials with the oxygen enriched atmosphere of the spacecraft enclosures.

Inflight dynamics testing of the Apollo spacecraft

Response of the Apollo command module, service and lunar module airframe while in a docked configuration in the flight environment was measured in a frequency band encompassing the first two bending modes. Transfer characteristics from thrust-application point to control-system sensor were examined. The frequency and the stability margins of the first two predominant structural resonances were verified by the test. This report describes the flight test that was performed and the postflight data analysis.

Nonmetallic-material configuration control in the Apollo spacecraft

The methods employed by NASA to establish configuration control of nonmetallic materials on Apollo spacecraft are described. A five step procedure for examining contractor materials for suitability and compatibility is presented. The compatibility of the materials with the oxygen enriched environment of the spacecraft enclosures is emphasized.

The Apollo spacecraft: A chronology. Volume 2: 8 November 1962 - 30 September 1964

A chronology of the Apollo spacecraft development and production program is presented. The subjects discussed are: (1) defining contractural relations, (2) developing hardware distinctions, and (3) developing software ground rules. Illustrations, drawings, and photographs are used extensively to supplement the technical writing. Descriptions of life support systems, communication equipment, propulsion systems, control devices, and spacecraft components are provided.
