ENGINE GIMBALLING SYSTEM Gts
The Saturn V engine gimballing system positions the gimballed engines of the active stage to provide the thrust vectors required for vehicle control. In performing this function, the gimballing system is controlled by commands initiated by the attitude control and stabilization function. Refer to Paragraph 20-35. The engine gimballing system steers the vehicle along its trajectory by providing engine thrust vectors for pitch, yaw, and roll control except for the S-IVB stage . The system is...

A brief description of the engine components follows. Table 22- 4 lists the engine performance parameters and mechanical characteristics. A schematic diagram of the engine is illustrated in Figure 22- 11. 22-35. Thrust Chamber. The thrust-chamber body consists of a cylindrical section, a narrowing throat section and an expansion section. The body is constructed of longitudinal brazed stainless steel tubes. An intake manifold routes fuel through the tubing, cooling the thrust chamber and...

IMPLEMENTATION Akq
Radio frequency equipment carried aboard the Saturn IB instrument unit is integrated with earth-based equipment to provide the position and velocity data for mission control and post-flight evaluation of the mission. The radio frequency tracking sys tems include All of these systems except AROD are operational for the Saturn IB program. The AROD system is a developmental system. The systems are described below. 13-13. AZUSA. This system is the same as used for Saturn I. Refer to Paragraph 6-52....
Rca Computer
The RCA-110 Computer is a general-purpose digital computer capable of automatic monitoring and control. This computer is comprised of five major sections. The major sections of the computer are control, input, output, storage and arithmetic. The computer data are presented in Table 20-1. 20-6. Input Output Section. Information is transferred into, and out of, the computer by means of input output devices. Data to be processed, or programs to be performed, are read into the machine by paper...
