Balancing Vanguard Satellites
Simkovich, A.; Baumann, Robert C.
NASA Center for AeroSpace Information (CASI)
NASA-TN-D-498; D-498 , 19610401; Apr. 1961
The Vanguard satellites and component parts were balanced within the
specified limits by using a Gisholt Type-S balancer in combination
with a portable International Research and Development vibration
analyzer and filter, with low-frequency pickups. Equipment and
procedures used for balancing are described; and the determination of
residual imbalance is accomplished by two methods: calculation, and
graphical interpretation. Between-the-bearings balancing is
recommended for future balancing of payloads.

Vanguard Satellite Separation Mechanisms
Baumann, Robert C.
NASA Center for AeroSpace Information (CASI)
NASA-TN-D-497 , 19610401; Apr. 1961
Early in the Vanguard program it became apparent that a thoroughly
reliable means of separating the satellite packages from the
third-stage rocket would be required. A completely self -contained
standard mechanism was developed with redundant firing circuits for
use on both test vehicles and satellite-launching vehicles. A change
in the experimental objectives of the test-vehicle payload units
necessitated modification of some of the standard separation
mechanisms. A strap, pull-pin, girth-ring separation device was
developed which employed the basic actuation of the standard
mechanisms. Evidence of residual burning of the third stage made it
necessary to delay separation longer than the time designed into the
long-delay separation device. The standard separation mechanism was
modified and integrated with the satellite command receiver system so
that a ground command after third-stage burnout would cause
separation. Flight performance of the various separation mechanisms
proved their reliability; they performed without failure in all
Vanguard launchings.

Vanguard Satellite Spin-Reduction Mechanism
Baumann, Robert C.
NASA Center for AeroSpace Information (CASI)
NASA-TN-D-496 , 19610401; Apr. 1961
The Cloud Cover Satellite flown in Vanguard vehicles SLV-3 and SLV-4
required a spin rate of 55 r.p.m. when entering orbit. Since the
third-stage rocket was spin-stabilized in flight, and because other
considerations required that the satellite remain attached long enough
to acquire more than the desired 55 r.p.m., a satellite spin-reduction
mechanism was developed. Although the mechanisms functioned properly
in both flights, the desired spin rate was not achieved owing to
uncontrollable flight effects. These effects make the prediction of
satellite spin rates after a long pre-separation coasting period
extremely difficult. To meet future requirements a control system is
needed which can orient a payload according to a predetermined scheme
and maintain that orientation for the desired period.

Vanguard I Satellite Structure and Separation Mechanism
Shea, John T.; Baumann, Robert C.
NASA Center for AeroSpace Information (CASI)
NASA-TN-D-495 , 19610301; Mar. 1961
A reevaluation of the Vanguard program objectives in January 1957
resulted in the production of the Vanguard I Satellite, a
6.44-inch-diameter, 3.25-pound sphere with six equally spaced solar
cell clusters and six equally spaced antennas mounted on its surface.
Experiment requirements necessitated the development of a mechanism to
separate the satellite from the third-stage rocket. On the basis of
the existing standard separation mechanism, a strap pull-pin
girth-ring arrangement was developed. Both the satellite and the
separation mechanism were fully tested prior to flight. Successful
orbiting and flight operation proved the adequacy of the design.

Tethers in space handbook
Reese, T. G.; Baracat, W. A.; Butner, C. L.
NASA Center for AeroSpace Information (CASI)
NASA-CR-181371; NAS 1.26:181371 , 19860801; Aug 1, 1986
The handbook provides a list and description of ongoing tether
programs. This includes the joint U.S.-Italy demonstration project,
and individual U.S. and Italian studies and demonstration programs. An
overview of the current activity level and areas of emphasis in this
emerging field is provided. The fundamental physical principles behind
the proposed tether applications are addressed. Four basic concepts of
gravity gradient, rotation, momentum exchange, and electrodynamics are
discussed. Information extracted from literature, which supplements
and enhances the tether applications is also presented. A bibliography
is appended.

Tethers in space handbook, second edition
Penzo, Paul A.; Ammann, Paul W.
NASA Center for AeroSpace Information (CASI)
NASA-CR-188756; NAS 1.26:188756 , 19890501; May 1, 1989
The Tethers in Space Handbook, Second Edition represents an update to
the initial volume issued in September 1986. As originally intended,
this handbook is designed to serve as a reference manual for policy
makers, program managers, educators, engineers, and scientists alike.
It contains information for the uninitiated, providing insight into
the fundamental behavior of tethers in space. For those familiar with
space tethers, it includes a summary of past and ongoing studies and
programs, a complete bibliography of tether publications, and names,
addresses, and phone numbers of workers in the field. Perhaps its most
valuable asset is the brief description of nearly 50 tether
applications which have been proposed and analyzed over the past 10
years. The great variety of these applications, from energy generation
to boosting satellites to gravity wave detection is an indication that
tethers will play a significant part in the future of space
development. This edition of the handbook preserves the major
characteristics of the original; however, some significant
rearrangements and additions have been made. The first section on
Tether Programs has been brought up to date, and now includes a
description of TSS-2, the aerodynamic NASA/Italian Space Agency (ASI)
mission. Tether Applications follows, and this section has been
substantially rearranged. First, the index and cross-reference for the
applications have been simplified. Also, the categories have changed
slightly, with Technology and Test changed to Aerodynamics, and the
Constellations category removed. In reality, tether constellations may
be applicable to many of the other categories, since it is simply a
different way of using tethers. Finally, to separate out those
applications which are obviously in the future, a Concepts category
has been added. A new section included here on Conference Summaries
recognizes the fact that the tether community is growing
internationally, and that meetings provide a means of rapid
communication and interaction. Finally, the Bibliography section has
been considerably updated to include all known references. These are
listed by author and by subject and include the papers to be presented
at the Third International Conference in May 1989.

Space Station Freedom media handbook

NASA Center for AeroSpace Information (CASI)
NASA-TM-102901; NAS 1.15:102901 , 19890401; Apr 1, 1989
This handbook explains in lay terms, the work that is going on at the
NASA Centers and contractors' plants in designing and developing the
Space Station Freedom. It discusses the roles, responsibilities, and
tasks required to build the Space Station Freedom's elements, systems,
and components. New, required ground facilities are described,
organized by NASA Center in order to provide a local angle for the
media. Included are information on the historical perspective,
international aspects, the utilization of the Space Station Freedom, a
look at future possibilities, a description of the program, its
management, program phases and milestones, and considerable
information on the role of various NASA Centers, contractors and
international partners. A list of abbreviations, a four-page glossary,
and a list of NASA contacts are contained in the appendices.

The .pdf is going to be a fascinating read though, I really like how
they call the bomblets "propellant"...the doesn't really seem to get the
idea completely across, does it?
Mr. Commie would crap his red pants about the time the Saturn V with all
the "propellant" on board got launched.

The Rooskies would then respond with a cluster of Tsar Bomba's on an
N-1.

Given it's sterling launch record, you would want to be at
least a couple hundred miles from that launch site.

A cluster of 3 underweight, lead clad Tsar Bomba's?

And in case you never saw it- the ICBM varient of the N-1:

It's based on the upper two stages.

Casaba Cannon meets Turnip Cannon?
You should see that Tsar Cannon sometime... it's huge, but the walls of
the barrel look too thin to work. I think it would have exploded if they
had ever tried to fire it.
Hand-carving stone cannonballs would have been a pain also.
