 TECHNICAL INFORMATION

SUMMARY

This document is prepared jointly by the Marshall Space Flight Center Laboratories
S&E-ASTR-S, S&E-AERO-P, and SM-AWN-VN. The docu-.lent presents a brief and
concise description of the AS-5.35 Apollo Saturn Space Vehicle. Where necessary, for
clarification, additional related information has been included,

It is not the intent of this document to completely define the Space Vehicle or its
systems and subsystems in detail. The information presented herein, by text and
sketches, describes launch preparation activities, launch facilities, and the space
vehicle. mis information permits the reader to follow the space vehicle sequence of
events be=@nning a few hours prior to liftoff to its journey into space,

1. Mission Purpose:

AS-505, Apollo 10, Mission F, is described a s a Lunar Mission Development

Flight which has been designed to demsnstrate cm*w/space vehicle/mission support
facilities during a manned lunar mission and to evaluate lunar module performance in
lunar environment,

2. Launch Vehicle Mission Objectives

The Principal Detailed Test Objective (DTOlis to demonstrate the AS-505

Launch Vehicle capability to inject the A p l b *Spacecraftonto a free return, translunar
trajectory.

The Secondary Detailed Test Object wes are:

Verify 5-2 engine modifications,

Confirm 5-2 engine environment. in S-IL and S-IVB stages.
Confirm launch vehicle lo~lgitudl.nal oscillation environmental during
S-IC stage burn,
a Verify that S-IC modificcxtions \:ill suppress low frequency longitudinal
oscillations,

3. Mission Description

Mission F , AS-505, (Apollo lo), has a flight duration of approximately

10 days.

The AS-505 mission has been div.ided into the following phases which are
described below: Launch to parking orbit, coast in parking orbit, injection into trans-
lunar trajectory, lunar orbit insertion, resta-rt and injection into transearth trajectory,
reentry and splash down.
I
 Figures 1and 2 illustrate the boost to earth parking orbit and the balance of
the mission p-ofile t o include lunar orbit and reentry.

Launch to Parking Orbit. AS-505 will be launched from Kennedy Space

Center, complex 39B on a flight aximuth between 72 and 108 degrees. As the vehicle
rises from the launch pad, a yaw maneuver is executed to insum that the vehicle
does not collide with the tower in the event of high winds o r possible engine failure.
Once tower clearance has been accomplished, a pitch and roll maneuver is initiated
t o achieve the proper flight attitude and flight azimuth orientation.

A successful boost sequence, a s illustrated in Figure 1, will insert the

S-NB/IU/SC into a 100 NMI circular earth parking orbit.

Coast in Earth Parking Orbit. Coast in earth parking orbit will consist of
approximately two o r three revolutions during which time the LV and SC will be
checked out in preparation for translunar injection. Two injection opportunities have
been programmed for AS-505.

Injection into Translunar Traiectoq. This phase will begin wi'-hthe S-IVB
stage restart sequence which will occur midway during the second revolution (1st
opportunity) or during the third revolution (2nd opportunity). This burn will inject
the vehicle into a translunar, free return, trajectory. After injection, the CSM
separates from the S-IVB/IU, turns around, docks with the LM/S-IVB and performs
LM extraction. During translunar coast, spacecraft midcourse corrections a r e
made a s required. Following LM extraction, the S-IVB stage will undergo a residual
propellant, retrograde dump and safeing sequence. Thrust from available propellants
in the launch vehicle auxiliary propulsion system and from main propulsion system
venting is used to "propel" the expended S-IVB/IU to pass behind the moon and into a
solar orbit. (Figure 2)

Lunar Orbit Insertion. As the SC enters the lunar gravitational field, a

decision will be made a s to whether to remain on a '?free return trajectory" which
presents a path to transearth trajectory, o r to brake into lunar orbit. If conditions
a r e "go" for lunar orbit, one Astronaut will enter the lunar module and check the
status of the critical systems. He will then return to the CM prior to lunar orbit
insertion.

The SM propulsion system (SPS) is used to deboost the spacecraft into a

circular lunar orbit. During lunar orbit, two crew members enter the LM, CSM/LM
separationoccurs and LM checkoutproceeds.

During this activity phase, a LM excursion will simulate the descent and
ascent phases of a lunar landing mission. After the simulation phase, CSM/LM final
docking occurs and the astronauts will deactivate the LM and return to the CM. After
the LM crew returns to the CSM, the LM will be jettisoned.
 Restart and Injection to Transearth Trajectory. The SM propulsion system
is used once again, to boost the CSM out of lunar orbit and onto a transearth trajectory,

Reentry and Recovery. The command and service module a r e separated prior
to atmospheric reentry. The Service Module Reaction Control System is used to assist
in separation.

A range of 2000 nautical miles approximates the distance between the point
of atmospheric reentry and the point at which splash-down occurs. Recovery will take
place in the Pacific Ocean.

-LAUNCH VEHiCLE SECClE RANGE SAFETY SYSTEMS
The Secure Range Safety Systems, located on the S-IC, S-I1 and S-IVB stages,
provide a means to terminate the flight of an erratic vehicle by the transmission
of coded commands from ground stations to the vehicle during boost phase. The
Range Safety Officer (RSO) terminates the flight of an erratic vehicle
(trajectory deviations) by initiating the emergency engine cutoff command and,
if necessary, the propellant dispersion command.

Tbe command destruct system in each stage i s completely separate and

independent of those in the other stages.

The system in each powered stage consists of a range safety antenna

subsystem, two secure command receivers, two Range Safety Controllers,
two Secure Range Safety Decoders, two Exploding Bridge Wire (EBW) firing
units, two EBW detonators and a common safe and arm device which connects
the subsystem to the tank cutting charge. Electrical power for all elements
appearing in duplicate is supplied from separate stage batteries.

Prior to launch, the safe and arm device i s set to the "ARM" position by
ground support equipment and the system remains active until orbital
insertion. After orbital insertion, the S-IVB stage range safety receiver is
deactivated (Safed) by ground command from the Range Safety Officer.

EMERGENCY DETECTION SY$TEM

The Emergency Detection System (EDS) is designed to sense and react to

emergency situations resulting from launch vehicle malfunctions which may
arise during the mission. Crew safety and protection i s the primary function
of the EDS. Triple redundant sensors and majority voting logic a r e used in
the automatic abort system, Dual redundancy is used for most of the manual
abort sensors. The redundancy in the sensing systems is designed to protect
against inadvertent aborts.

Automatic Aborts - During most of the S-IC flight, the EDS provides the
capability of automatically aborting the mission. The automatic abort system
is enabled a t liftoff and disabled by the crew a t approximately 2 minutes o r
by the IU switch selector prior t o S-IC inboard engine cutoff. The system
responds to failure modes that lead to rapid vehicle breakup. The
parameters and the associated limits monitored for an automatic abort
are:

1. Loss of thrust on two o r more S-IC! engines

2. Vehicle rates in excess of *4O/sec in pitch o r yaw; o r f20Ysec in roll

3. Command Module to IU breakup.

Manual Aborts - After the automatic abort mode is disabled, aborts may be
initiated manually by the astronauts. Manual aborts a r e initiated based on a t
least two separate and distinct indications. The indications may be a combination
of EDS sensor displays, physiological indications, and ground information to the
astronauts. EDS displays for the crew consist of lights and meters which
indicate loss of thrust of each engine, staging sequences, launch vehicle attitude
reference failure, angle of attack, tank ullage pressures, spacecraft attitude
e r r o r and angular rates. The manual abort overrate limits are:

1. Pitch and Yaw - L/O to S-IC/S-11Staging - *4O/sec

- S-IC/S-11 Staging to S-IV C/O - *gO/sec

Aborts performed during the launch phase will be performed by using either
the Launch Escape System (LES) o r the Service Propulsion System (SPS). The
LES is used to propel the CM a safe distance from the launch vehicle and to
ensure a water landing. The automatic abort sequence of events is dependent
on the time (altitude) the abort is initiated. Aborts prior to 30 seconds do
not terminate S-IC thrust in order to protect the launch area. The SPS aborts
utilize the Service Module SPS engine to propel the CSM away from the launch
vehicle, maneuver to a planned landing area o r boost into a contingency orbit.

GUIDANCE AND CONTROL SYSTEM (G&C)

Function and Description

The G&C system provides the following basic functions during flight:

1. Stable positioning of the vehicle to the commanded position with a minimum

amount of sloshing and bending.

2. A first stage tilt attitude program which gives a near zero lift trajectory
through the atmosphere.

3. Steering commands during S-I1 and S-IVB burns which guide the vehicle to a
predetermined set of end conditions while maintaining a minimum propellant trajectory
for earth orbit insertion.

4. The proper vehicle position during earth orbit.

5. Guidance during the second S-IVB burn, placing the vehicle in the proper
waiting orbit.

G&C Hardware

The Stabilized Platform (ST-124M) is a three gimbal configuration with gas bearing
,gyros and accelerometers mounted on the stable element. Gimbal angles a r e measured
by redundant resolvers and inertial velocity is obtained from integrating accelerometers.

The Launch Vehicle Data Adapter (LVDA) is an input-output device for the Launch
.
Vehicle Digital Computer (LVDC) The LVDA/LVDC components a r e digital devices
which operate in conjunction to c a r r y out the flight program. The flight program per-
forms the following functions: (1) processes the inputs from the ST-124M, (2) per-
forms navigation calculations, (3) provides the first stage tilt program, (4) calculates
IGM steering commands, (5) calculates attitude e r r o r s , (6) issues launch vehicle
sequencing signals .
The C o n t r o l / E ~Rate
~ Gyro Package contains nine r a t e gyros (triple redundant in
three axes). Their outputs go to the Control Signal Processor (CSP) where they a r e
voted and sent to the Flight Control Computer (FCC) for damping vehicle angular
motion.

The FCC i s an analog device which receives attitude e r r o r signals from the LVDA/
LVDC and vehicle angular rate signals from the CSP. These signals a r e filtered and
scaled, then sent a s commands to the S-IC, S-11, and S-IVB engine actuators and to the
Auxiliary Propulsion %stem (APS) Control Relay Packages. The Control Relay Pack-
ages accept FCC commands and relay these 2ommands to operate propellant valves in
the APS. During spacecraft control of the launch vehicle, the FCC receives attitude
e r r o r signals from the Command Module Computer o r the Astronaut hand controller.

The Switch Selectors in each stage a r e used to control the inflight sequencing as
commanded from the LVDA/LVDC.

INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEMS

The Saturn V Instrumentation Systems are functionally divided into three parts on
each stage. These separate divisions o r subsystems are:

Measuring Systems

Telemetry Systems

Measuring

The purpose of the measuring systems is to detect the phenomena to be measured

and to process and distribute this data to the input of each stage telemetry system.
All measurements, regardless of their original characteristics, must be processed
into electrical signals within a 0 to 5-volt range prior to delivery to the stage telemetry
system. The telemetry system accepts these input signals for transmission to the
ground receiving stations.

The following table contains a measurement breakdown for the launch vehicle and
the spacecraft.

Telemetry

The Telemetry System for each stage of the vehicle must accept signals produced
by the measuring portion of the instrumentation system, and accurately reproduce
and transmit them to the ground stations. Measurement signals a r e accepted at a
fixed input level, processed, and fed to the proper airborne antennas. In the case
of checkout measurements, the signals are transmitted via breakaway cable arrange-
ment to the ground checkout station prior to liftoff.

R F 2nd Tracking

The Vehicle R F and Tracking Systems are described and illustrated on pages 30
and 31.

VEHICLE TRACKING SYSTEMS

In the Saturn V Space Vehicle there i s a continuous requirement to transmit

information to ground stations in order to determine the vehicle's trajectory. This
requirement i s satisfied by the R F Tracking Systems. The tracking data i s used by
mission control, range safety, and for post-flight evaluation of the vehicle's performance.

The principal tracking systems used are:

r C -band radar - Used in the IU and spacecraft

Unified S-band system - Used in the IU and spacecraft.
ODOP System

Note: The Offset Doppler System, previously used in the S-IC Stage, has been
discontinued.

C -Band (IU and SC)

C-Band is a pulse radar system which i s used for precise tracking during launch
and orbit phases. Two C-Band radzlr transponders are carried in the IU t o provide radar
tracking capabilities independent of vehicle attitude.

Unified S-Band System (IU and SC)

The Unified Side Band (USB) System provides tracking capability to the USB
ground stations.

S-IC STAGE STRUCTURE

The S-IC stage is approxima:ely 138 feet long and 33 feet in diameter and is
powered by five liquid-fueled Rocketdyne F-l engines wvhich generate a nominal thrust
of 7,610,000 pounds. Stage engines are scpplied by a hi-propellant syst?m of liquid
oxygen (LOX] a s the oxidizer and RP-1 as the fuel. S-IC stage interfaces
structurally and electrically with the S-I1 stage (forward skirt structt~ie).

e The Forward Skirt

The Forwmrd Skirt accommodates the forward umbilical plate, the electrical and
electronic canistersand the venting of the Lox tank and interstage cavity. The
al-lminum skin panels a r e stiffened by ring frames and stringers.

--
Theoxidizer Tank

The 345,000 gallon Lox tank is the structural link between ~e forward and inter-
tank sections. Stiffened by machined "T" stiffeners the tank i s internally eq~ippedwith
ring baffles for additional stability a s well as to reduce Lox sloshing. Ring baffles
alsd provide support for four helium bottles.

@ The Intertank Section

The intertank section provides structuraly continuity between the Lox and RP-1
tanks.

The RP-1 (Fuel) rank

The RP-1 fuel tank, located between the thnl.st structure a d the intertank sectim ,
is a cylindrical aluminum structure with a load capacity of 216,900 gallons. Antislosh
ring baffles a r e located on the inner wvalls while cruciform baffles arc located on the
lower bulkhead. A lightweight foam material, bonded to the lower bulkhead, serves as
an exclusive r i s e r to minimize unusable residual fuel.

The T k ~ sS'tructure
t

The thrust structure provides support for the five engines, the base heat shield,
engine fairings and fins, pro-xllant lines, retro rockets and environmei~talcontrol ducts.
The lower thrust ring also h a s four hold-down points to restrain the vehicle, as necessary,
from lifting off at full F-1 engine thrust.

F - 1 Engine Operation

The F-1 engine i s started by ground support equipment. Ground fluid pressure
opens ports in the main LOX valves. Opening of the main LOX valves admits LOX
under tank pressure to the thrust chamber and allows control fluid to enter the
gas generator. Opening of the gas generator valve permits LOX and RP-1 to enter
the gas generator combustion chamber where it is ignited and the hot gasses a r e
discharged into the thrust chamber where they a r e ignited by the turbine exhaust
igniters. When the RP-1 reaches approximately 375 psig a valve in the hypergol
cartridge opens allowing LOX and R 3 - 1 to build up pressure against the hypergol
burst diaphragm. At approximately 500 psig the diaphragm ruptures allowing
hypergol and RP-1 to enter the thrust chamber causing spontaneous combustion
upon contact with the LOX, thereby establishing primary ignition. As thrust
pressure builds up the RP-1 valves open admitting RP-1 to the thrust chamber
and the transition to mainstage operation i s achieved.

The inboard engine i s cutoff by a signal from the IU. Outboard engines a r e
cutoff by optical type LOX depletion sensors with fuel depletion sensors a s backup.
A command from the IU supplies a command to the switch selector to enable the
outboard engine cutoff circuitry. When two o r more of the four LOX level sensors
a r e energized, a timer is activated. Expiration of the timer energizes a stop
solenoid for each engine which energizes the main LOX and main RP-1 valves. The
sequence closing of the main LOX valve followed by sequence closing of the main
RP-1 valve interrupts propellant flaw and terminates engine operation.

 S-IC STAGE PROPELLANT SYSTEM

The S-IC stage propellant system is composed of one LOX tank. one RP-1 tank.
propellant lines, control valves, vents, and pressurization subsystems. Loadlng
of LOX and RP-1 tanks is controlled by ground computers. RP-1 loading is
completed approximately nine days prior to liftoff. IXlX bubbling is started at the
beginning of UIX chilldown operation and is continued throughout LOX loading
and again before liftoff to prevent possible geysering. Prior to liftoff the RP-1
tank and the U3X tank is pressurized by helium from a ground source. At liftoff
the RP-1 tank is pressurized with helium stored in bottles located in the LOX tank
and heated by passing the helium through fhe heat exchanger. T i O X tank pressuri-
zation is maintained by U3X bled from the engine and converted to GOX in the heet
exchanger.

S-IC STAGE THRUST VECTOR CONTROL SYSTEM

The four outboard F-1 engines a r e gimbal mounted on the stage thrust structure
to provide attitude control during S-IC s h g c powered flight. Each independent
gimbal system employs two hydraulic servo actuators. These servo actuators con-
vert electrical command signals (Flight Control Computer) and hydraulic pressure
into mechanical outputs which gimbal the outboard engines on the S-IC stage. An
integral mechanical feedback, varied by piston position, modifies the effect of ;;he
control signal from the FCC. Built-in pot~ntiometerssense servo actuator positions
for telemetry a s v.41 c s providing an interlock to preclude liftoff with an engine
hardover.

Hydraulic pressure is supplied to the Thrust Vector Control System from a GSE
pressure source during prelaunch checkout and engine start. The GSE pressure
source utilizes RJ-1 ramjet fuel a s the hydraulic fluid. During engine operation,
hydraulic pressure is supplied from the fuel discharge of the engine turbo pump to the
servo valve actuators. The fuel return8 through a check valve to the fuel inlet of the
turbo pump. RP-1, the fuel used by S i r S-IC stage, is used a s the hydraulic fluid
during engine operation.

G-2 ENGINE OPERATION S-I1 STAGE

The operating cycle of the 5-2 Engi,~econsists of prestart, start: steady-state

,
operation and cutoff sequences. During prestart , LOX and LH flow through the
engine to temperature-condition the engine components, and to assure the presence
of propellant in the turbopumps for starting. Following a timed cooldown period, the
start signal is received by the sequence controller which energizes various control
solenoid valves to open the propellant valves in the proper sequence. The sequence
controller also energizes spark plugs in the gas generate- and thrust chamber to
ignite the propellant. In addition, the sequence controller releases GH, from the
start tank. The GH, provides the initial drive for the turbopumps that &liver
propellant to the gas generator and the engine. The propellant ignites, gas generator
output accelerates the turbopumps , and engine thrust increases to main stage
operation. At this time, the spark plugs are de-energized and the engine is in steady-
state operation.

Steady-st~teoperation is maintained until a c-itoff signal is received by the

sequence controller. The sequence controller de-energizes the solenoid valves
which in turn close the engine propellant valves in the proper sequence. A s a result,
engine thrust decays and the cutoff sequence is complete.

S-11 STAGE PROPELIJANT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The propellant management system, in conjunction with the switch selectdr ,

controls mass propellant loading and engine mixture ratios (LOX to LH2) to ensure
balanced consumption of LOX and LH2.

Capacitance probes, mounted in the LOX and LH, containers, monitor the mass
of the propellants during powered flight. At engine start the mixture ratio i s set to
5.0: 1 and then a t approximately 5 seconds after engine start, the P U system is armed
in the open loop mode and the P U valve i s commanded t o 5.51 mixture ratio by the
LVDC/LVDA. When the initial phase of IGM guidarice is completed, (nominally engine
start plus 318 seconds), the LVDC/LVDA through the S-11 switch selector will command
the PU valve to a mixture ratio of 4.5: 1.

Outboard engine cutoff is initiated when any two of the five capacitance probes, in
either tank, indicate dry. Prior to this cutoff, the LVDC /LVDA through the S-1'1 witch
selector commands S-I1 center engine cutoff.

S-?I STAGE T"3RUST VECTOR CONTROL SYSTEM

The four outboard 5-2 engines a r e gimbal mounted to provide thrust vector
control during powered flight. Attitude control i s maintained by gimballing the
outboard engines in conjunction with electrical control signals from the IU flight
control computer.

The gimballing system consists of four independent closed-loop hydraulic

control subsystems which provide power for engine gimballing. The primary
components of the subsystem a r e an auxiliary pump, a main pump, an accumulator/
reservoir inanifold assembly and two servo actuators (see page 55). The auxiliary
pump is electrically driven from the GSE to provide hydraulic fluid circulation
prior t o launch. The main pump i s mounted to and driven by the engine LOX
turbopump. The accumulator/reservior manifold assembly consist of a high
pressure accumulator which receives high pressure fluid from the pump and a
low pressuri: ~ e s z r v i o which
r receives return fluid from the servo actuators.
The servo r ct.~atori s a power control unit that converts electrical signals and
hydraulic pow:r into mechanical outputs that gimbal the engine.

During tlle prelaunch period, the auxiliary hydraulic pump circulates the
hydraulic fluid to preclude fluid freezing during propellant loading. Circulation
i s not required during the S-IC burn due to the short duration burn. After
S-IC/S-II separation, an S-11 switch selector command unlocks the accumulator
lock up valves, releasing high pressure fluid t o each of the servo actuators. The
accumulators provide gimballing power prior t o the main hydraulic pump operation.
(S-IC/S-I1 separation transients). During S-I1 mainstage operation, the main
h:.-draulic pump supplies high pressure fluid to the servo actuators. The reiurn
fluid from the actuators is routed t o the reservoir which stores hydraulic fluid
at sufficient pressure to supply a positive pressure at the main pump inlet.

5-2 ENGINE OPERATION S-NB STAGE

The operating cycle of the 5-2 Engine consists of prestart, start, steady-state
operation and cutoff sequences. During prestart, LOX and LH, flow through the
engine to temperature-condition the engine components, and to assure the presence
of propellant in the turbopumps for starting. Following a timed cooldown period,
the start signal is received by the sequence controller which energizes various control
solenoid valves to open the propellant valves in the proper sequence. The sequence
controller also energizes spark plugs in the gas generator and thrust chamber to
ignite the propellant. In addition, the sequence contrcller releases GH, from the
start tank. The GH, provides the initial drive for the turbopumps that deliver
propellant to the gas generator and the engine. The propellant ignites, gas generator
output accelerates the turbopumps , and engine thrust increases to main stage
operation. At this time, the spark plugs are de-energized and the engine is in steady-
state operation.

Steady-state operation is maintcined until a cutoff signal is received by the

sequence controller. The sequence controller de-energizes the solenoid valves
which in turn close the engine propellant valves in the proper sequence. A s a result,
engine thrust decays and the cutoff sequence is complete.

S-IVB STAGE PROPELLANT SYSTEM

The 8-IVB stage propellant system is composed of integral LOX/LH, tanks,

propellant lines, control valves, vents and pressurization subsystems. Loading of
the propellant tanks and flow of propellants is controlled by the propellant utilization
system. Both propellant tanks a r e initisllly pressurized by ground source cold helium.

LOX tank pressurization during S-IVB stage burn is maintained by helium supplied
from spheres in the LH, tank, which is expanded by passing through the heat exchanger,
to maintain positive pressure across the common tank bulkhead and to satisfy engine
net positive suction head. LH, tank pressurization during S-IVB stage burn is main-
tained by GH, from the 5-2 engine injector. Pressurization of the LH, tank strerigthens
the stage in addition to satisfying engine net positive suction head.

Repressurization of the propellant tanks, prior t o 5-2 engine restarts, is attained

by passing cold helium, from the helium spheres in the LH, tank, through the o,/H,
burner. The heated helium is then routed to the propellant tanks. Should the o,/H,
burner fail, ambient repressurization will ensure propellant tank pressure for engine
restarts.

The propellant management system, in conjunction with the switch sdlector,
c ~ n t ~ omass
l s propellant loading and engine mixture ratios (LOX to LH,) to ensure
balanced consumption of LOX and LH2.

The capacitance probes, located in the LOX and LH, tanks, monitor the mass of the
propellants. During flignt, the LOX and LH, capacitance probes a r e not utilized to
control ;lie propellant mixture ratio. The mixture ratio is controlled by switch selector
outputs which a r e used to operate the propellant utilization (PUj valve. The PU valve
is a rotary valve which controls the quantity of LOX flowing t o the engine.

The PU valve is commanded t o its null position to obtain an engine mixture ratio
(EMR) of G : l (LOX/LH,) prior to engine start. The PU valve remains a t the 5: 1
position during the first burn. Prior to engine restart (first opportunity) the PU valve
is command by the switch selector to an EMR of 4 . 5 1 and remains at this position
until approximately 2 minutes of S-IVB burn. Then the PU valve i s commanded t o its
null position (5:l) by the switch selector. However, if the S-IVB restart is delayed
t o the second opportunity, the EMR is shifted from 4.5: 1to 5: 1by the switch selector
at about the time the engine reaches 90 percent thrust.

S-IVB THRUST VECTOR CONTROL SYSTEM

The single 3-2 En.@ne is gimbal m~uiltedon the longitudinal axis of the
S-IVB Stage to provide pitch and yaw control during S-IVB powered flight.
Engine gimballing is accomplished by an independent closed loop hydraulic
system which supplies power t o the two servo-actuators. The two servo-
aciwtors may extend o r rctract individually o r sim~ltaneous~y.Gimbal
position is proportional to the magnitude of an electrical input t o the electro-
hydraulic servo valve located on each actuator. Mechanical feedback from
the actuator to the servo valve completes the closed engine position loop.

During S-IC and S-II statge burns, the actuators hc!d the engin-. position
to null. This is accomplished by utilizing the electrically driven auxiliary
hydraulic pump. The auxiliary hydraulic pump is also used during orbit to
periodically circulate the hydraulic fluid t o prevent freezing. During the
S-I?% burn, the main hydraulic pump, driven by the engine, provides the
necessary pressure and circulation for actuator operation (pitch and yaw
control). Roll cont.ro1 is provided by the Auxiliary Propulsion System

AUXILIARY PROPULSION SYSTEM

The S-IVB Auxiliary Propulsion System (APS) provides vehicle attitude control
during powered flight in the roll axis only and during S-IVB coast provides control in
the pitch, yaw, and roll axes. Attitude corrections a r e made by firing the control
engines, individually o r in combination, in short bursts of approximately 65 ms
minimum duration. Commands from the Flight Control Computer actuate
fuel and oxidizer solenoid valve clusters that admit hypergolic propellants
to the control engine combustion chambers.

The attitude control engines a r e located in two aercdyllamically shaped

modules, 180 degrees apart, on the aft end of the S-IVB stage (positions I
and III). Each module contains four hypergolic engines, three 150 pound thrust
attitude control engines and one 70 pound thrust ullage engine. The 70 pound
thrust (ullage) cr:gine in each module is used to settle the main stage
propellants after S-IVB cutoff and again prior t o restart. One control engine
of each module is used to control the vehicles' attitude in pitch, while the
other two are used f o r yaw and roll control.

Each APS module contains its own propellant supply and pressurization
system. The hypergolic propellants used by the engines a r e monomethyl
hydrazine (MMH) for the fuel and nitrogen tetroxide (Nz04) for the oxidizer.
Helium is the pressurant used in the system.

The Instrument Unit is a cylindrical structure approximately 260 inches in

diameter and 36 inches high which is attached to the forward end of the S-IVB stage.
IU structure is composed of an aluminum alloy honeyqomb sandwich material which
was selected for its high strergth-to-weight ratio, acoustical insulation, and thermal
conductivity properties.

The cylinder is composed of three 120 degree segments--the access door segement,
the flight control computer segment, and the ST-124-M segment.

The IU Stage contains:

Guidance, Navigation and Control Equipment

Telemetry Systems

Tracking Systems

Crew Safety Systems

Environmental Control System

The guidance, navigation and control equipment contained in the IU includes that
which is necessary for vehicle guidance and control during boost through orbital coast
and subsequently for translunar injection.

Telemetry along with measuring systems is used to monitor certain conditions and
events which take place in the IU and to transmit these monitored signals to ground
receiving stations.

Tracking systems assi L the determination of the vehicle's trajectory. Tracking

data is used for mission control, range safety and post flight evaluation of vehicle per-
formance.

Crew Safety is provided by the Emergency Detection System, a portion of which is

located in the IU stage. EDS senses conditions in the vehicle during boost phase which
could c m s e vehicle failure.

Environmental Control maintains an acceptable operating envizonment during pre-

flight and flight operations.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL SYSTEM (ECS)

The Enviroilmental Control System (ECS) has been developed to maintain an

acceptable operating environment for the IU/S-IVB equipment during preflight and
inflight operations.

The ECS is made up of the following:

Thermal Conditioning System - maintains a circulating Methanol Water

coolant temperature of approximately 59' *1'~.

Preflight Purging System - maintains a supply of temperature and pressure

regulated a i r / ~ N zin the Iu/S-IvB equipment.

Gas
--- Bearing Supply System - furnishes GNa to the ST-124-M3 inertial
platform gas bearings.

Hazardous Gas Detection System - monitors the IU/S-IVB forward interstage

SPACECRAFT DESCRIPTION

The Spacecraft for the AS-505 mission i s composed of:

Launch Escape System (LES)

Command Module (CRI)
Service Module (SM)
Lunar Module (LM)
Spacecraft Lunar Module Adapter (SLA)

Launch Escape System

The Launch Escape System, which is jettisoned approximately 35 seconds after

S-II Ignition, is made up of a Launch Escape Tower (LET), and a three-motor pro-
y lision system (Tower Jettison, Launch Escape and Pitch Control BIotors).

Command Module

The Command Module is a Block II Configuration, The module's inner structure,

o r pressure vessel, is separated from the outer structure by a layer of insulation.
A heat shield structure is made up in three segments consisting of a forward heat
shield, a crew compartment heat shield, and an aft shield. The CM is slightly over
li feet in length and is about 12 feet in diameter, A propulsion system consists of
Reaction Control Engines which may operate pulsed o r continuous.

Service Module

The Service hlodule may be described as a cylindrical, aluminum shell which

is made up of honeycomb-sandwich panels and a forward and aft bulkhead, One
gimballed propulsion engine (capable of up to 30 restarts) and-a reaction control
system (4 clusters, 4 chambers each) make up the SM Propulsion System, I"lle Com-
mand and Service Module are joined by 3 tension ties each of which is equipped with
explosive charges for SM/CM separation.

Lunar Module

The Lunar Module consists primarily of an Ascent and Descent Stage. The Ascent
Stage, which contains the crew compartment, is equipped with a Reaction Control System
which provides thrust capability, an ingress and egress hatch to the crew's compartment,
VHF, S-Band and Rendezvous Radar capabilities plus numerous instrumentation and
controls. The Descent Stage, consists primarily of a descent engine and four retractable
landing gear assemblies. Over all weight of the Lunar Module is approximately 32,000
pounds.

Spacecraft Lunar Module Adapter

The Spacecraft Lunar Module Adapter (SLA) joins the Service Module (SM) to the
S-IVB/IU. The SLA encloses the Lunar Module. Adapter panels which enclose the
Lunar Module are jettisoned prior to docking and Lunar Module extraction.
