Launch Vehicle Operations Simulator

The Saturn Launch Vehicle Operations Simulator (LVOS) was developed for NASA at Kennedy Space Center. LVOS simulates the Saturn launch vehicle and its ground support equipment. The simulator was intended primarily to be used as a launch crew trainer but it is also being used for test procedure and software validation. A NASA/contractor team of engineers and programmers implemented the simulator after the Apollo XI lunar landing during the low activity periods between launches.

Launch vehicle test and checkout plan. - Volume 2: Saturn 1B launch vehicle Skylab R (rescue) and AS-208 flow plan and listings

The launch operations test and checkout plan is a planning document that establishes all launch site checkout activity, including the individual tests and sequence of testing required to fulfill the development center and KSC test and checkout requirements. This volume contains the launch vehicle test and checkout plan encompassing S-1B, S-4B, IU stage, and ground support equipment tests. The plan is based upon AS-208 flow utilizing a manned spacecraft, LUT 1, and launch pad 39B facilities.

Development of the Saturn Space Vehicle

The Saturn launch vehicle program has become a major element in our national space effort within little more than 3 years. At the beginning of the program, in 1958, various Saturn configurations were planned to lift instrumented payloads of 20,000 to 40,000 lb. into Earth orbit. As research and development progressed, it became apparent that the vehicle design approach had far more potential than anticipated that it was, in fact, a breakthrough into a new class of heavy launch vehicles. Thus, within the space of a few years, it was possible to consider even more advanced missions. In addition to placing multiton payloads in orbit, we can seriously conceive sending over 90,000 lb. of instruments on escape missions, using advanced Saturn-class vehicles. With these vehicles, we plan to accomplish lunar reconnaissance and manned lunar landings scheduled for the latter part of this decade. Likewise, these vehicles will permit flight tests of advanced nuclear power plants and stages.
