y.tEMORANDUM FOR COLONEL TERmINE 

ST.:JBJECT: WS l17L Guidance and Con 

1. A memorandum to you from Lt. Col. Box dated 6 February 1958 

commented upon some aspects ~f the WS 117L Guidance ~d Control Program. 

2. We have realized that a number of difficulties would develop 

at Lockheed connected with their approach to the problem. The cooperation~~ and effort of representatives of WDTLG in studying thE~' p.rogram have been very helpful. We have discussed. these matters with them 

and have reached concurrence on all significant points. 

3. Our actions on the major pOints of the memorandum. are as 

follows: 

a. The ACSP System will be used on the WS 117L/Thor. 

b. The General Electric System will be used on the 

WS 117L/ Atlas. 

c • A Work Statement which will permit ACSP to start work 

has been coordinated through WDTLG and has been transmitted by teletype by the Contracting Officer. 

d. A Work Statem€mt for General Electric ,has been prepared ' 

and will be processed immediately in a similar manner. 

e. The Burroughs Work Statement, will' depend upon initial 

studies by G. E. and will follow as soon as possible. 

f. We concur that MIT needs definite direction. With further 

assistance frOID WDTLG it wl11 be possible to formulate a satisfactory 

program. 

go In each case, funds are being transferred to cover'costs. 

h. WS 117L intends to become self .. sufficient very soon on 

technical matters relating to guidance and control. A qualified officer 

is being assigned to this office and will be responsible for this work. 

Meanwhile, the assistance of Major Marlow and others is, greatly appreciated.

8. The static gain and fre<;iuency-a"Gtenuation charac"{eristics of the 

autopilot are such that a signal of this fre<;iuency would be attenuated by 

factors of approximately .002 and .0002 for the attitude and rate chan.'flels 

respectively. .On this basis, the bending slope must be gr~ater than approxi~ 

!"~ely .13 degrees to exceed the engine closed loop dead band of approxi.1r..ately 

.01 degreeso The Structural Dyna.l1ics Group computed a ffi9.ximum bending slope ' 

of approxirr3.tely .02 degrees for a )+ degree step deflect::~on of the engine. It 

is evident the combination of .a.ttenu,S'.tion a,nd deadband 'Hill completely nullify

TR.'\NSIT II Program Progress Report for 30 June 1959 

Director 

Advanced Research Projects';!.\s~ency 

~,;rashington 25) DC' • ;. , o ( , 

1. This report, covering prog1."es s during the month of June 1959);\~_,~LL 

is the second submitted under ARPA Order 17 -59; Tasks #3 and if/:6 of "':i~~ 

Amendment 4, dated 10 April 1959. Program responsibility has been 

assigned to the Director of Satellite S'ystems, Deputy Commander 

. Space Systems, AFBMD, primarily because of the,interrelationship 

between these two tasks. Task #3, estimated cost $5,150,000 

provides for'modification of AGENA vehicle'to obtain dual burning 

capability and simplified guidance and control system. Task #6, 

estimated cost, $7~660,000) provides for the delivery of two 

modified Lockheed AGENA vehicles. two THOR boosters, and the use 

of this combination to launch TRANSIT II payloads into a 400 

nautical mile circular orbit. 

2. TECHNICAL STATUS 

a. 

held on 2' 

the AGENA 

At a Lockheed Missile and Space Division (L1'13D) briefing 

June, it was agreed that the optimum tank size for use in 

vehicle should be t,,,ice the development size. r;:.? 

b. On 4'June a Coordination Meeting was held, with representatives from ARPA,AFBHD, L1'1SD and Applied Physics Laboratory. 

LHSD gave the status of the tank study and restart engine development. 

hpplied Physics Laboratory described the T&~NSIT II payload and 

furnished the requirements for the AGENA stage as dete~mined by the 

payload. The interface bet,.;reen the payload and the AGENA second 

stage is rather simple and appears to' present no problems. The 

'attaching device and release mechanism will be identical and interchangeable with that used on TRANSIT 1. ' 

3, PROBLD1S ENCOUNTERED 

No significant problems have Deen encountered

2. TECHNICAl, STATUS 

a. Program Hlstory and 1I1ajor Features - In April 1959 ARPA 

directed AFBMD to ini t:i.ate this developJ'1i:exlt"program as outlined in 

Task 3 of Amendment 4 to ARPA Order No., 17 (superseded by Order No. 

96). AFBlvID/BMC contracted with Lockhee(l l;fissile and Space Division 

to implement such a o.evelopment program as a CCN to Contract AF 

04( 6h7) ~97. Since tiffiD pre\l;:i..ously had been directed to instruct 

Bell Aircraft Corp to plan and conduct an. analysis to determtne the 

feaGibili ty of adcU.ng single restart capability to the XI,R-81-BA-5 

AGENA engine, and a feasibility of r,~sta,rt testing program vras in 

progress at Arnold Engineering Deve16pment Center, the LNSD implementation to this program vas greatly expedited. The major features 

of the program include a 100 percent increase in propellant tankage 

and addition of a restart capability, generally using components 

already provedi.n the GXistiDg AGENA engine ivi th several improved>; 

components (vaJ.ves) "There increased rel:iabili ty was needed as a //

b. Program Objectives - include a.nalysis and feasibility 

testing for reliable-restarT"ca.pabil:Lty, mockup, development testing, 

prel1rninary fl:Lght rs;t;ing tests (PE'R;E) and flight engines.

actual thrust coefficient (Cf ) and to evaluate thrust chamber starting, 

restarting and shutdovm tranSient, coasting periods and steady state 

operation, is scheduled to begin in October 1959. The first flight 

engine is scheduled for o.e1ivery to LMSDin October 1959 for use ill 

an April 1960 flight. No delay in meeUng these schedules is evident. 

The.highlights of the restart capability development to date include 

four 24·0 secOlid duration thrust chamber runs and. two 2ho second <luxation prototype engine runs on 29 and 20 August, respectively, with no 

difficulties experienced. One recent fuel valve malfunction and one 

misfire on e:r..gine start have been reported, but analysis of these two 

incidents has not yet indicated the existence of a major problem.

d. Increased Propellant Capacity Development status - The tank 

o 

size selected for development has brice the volume of present AGENA 

tanks. This degree'of increase was determined to be near optimura for 

both THOR and ATLAS booster programs as a result of optlinization studies. 

The internal configuration of the increased tan1\:age is being designed 

"ri th emphasis on the: portion that is dissimilar from. present tank 

design. This involves slosh control in the cylindrical section th.c~t '~ 

"laS used to double the tank voium.e. This section is being designed as"'\. 

an integral part of the veh1cle structure and as such is the only lnajox/ 

change in the vehicle structure configuration. The deSign increai3es / 

the present AGENA structure only by six feet in length. Engineering 

for this change has been released and a test prograrll, involving 

different baffle configurations as cLetermined by data from other 

programs, is in process. It appears that no major problems will be 

encountered and that 8 .. twice capacity AGENA vehicle will be available for the scheduleo. April 1960 flight.

1. At an early stage in the subject. programs it is essential in 

tenns- of-cost· of vehicles , OSE change costs, operations costs and 

reduction in confusion that we go to a minimum. number of AGENA 

configurations in terms of the COnmlOl1 subsystems involved. The 

goal is for one standard AGFJ~A (aft of a joint.ly agreed to vehicle 

station) and for a minimum ntJJnber of program-peculiar components. 

2. This goal must be reached not. later than the final quarter of 

C1 1960. 

3. In order to ma..1{e maximum use of the limited available launch 

facilities the goal of standardization must extend to GSE and launch 

control and checkout equipment. 

4. It eisdesiredthat HDZEassume responsibility for preparation of 

a specific }/lan to accomplish the abovt? \-Tith the participatj.on of system 

directorates, other addressees as necessary, and contractors. 

A first report on this progrs;lll should be available for presentation 

at the ne:x:t, Commanders Internal Hanagement Conference. 

5. LBZT \-lill be consulted and will participate in "lorking out LMSD 

part ic ipat ion. 

6. WDZSC \-rill arrange for inclusion of overall STL system requirements in the program, WDZ}g "\vill assure that STL inputs for peculiar 

COlvISAT vehicle requirement.s are included in this plan, vlDZT and WDZQ 

'Tlll ar-..canGc for 8'1'L Cm~'3.t~T contrfbutions pertinent to __ of their 

x'cspons i bili ty as pertains to AGE1IJA. 

7. As an integral part of this action consideration will be given to 

prompt esta1)lishffient of a configuration contror board for the AGENA. 

'rhere mrw be some conflicts ili-I:;h existing Al"BNIDR! s on this subject 

since the AGENA is but a portion of several systems. ReCluest vlDZSKJ 

, together wi tIl HD7JS and LBZI} "lith assistance f:f.10i11 other I'lDZ clements 

as needed,. develop a course of action for such a' board, including ,vaiV'cl' 

actions to existing iU--:BMDIR IS.

Modification of AGENA Vehicle, 30 September 1959 

Director 

Advanced Research Projects Agency 

Washington 25, DC 

1. Thiso:r.:;~portl covering progress during the.ll1onth of September 

1959, is the 'third to be submitt,ed under ,ARPA order No. 96, dated 

1 July 1959 (Project Code No. 3600). The work \vas formerly dil7ected 

by Task 3 of.Amendment No.4 to ARPA Order No. 17. Order No. 96 

calls for the modification of the AGENA upper.' stage vehicle to 

obtain single restart capability and to provide increased 

propellant carrying capacity. 

2. ~CHNICAL STATUS 

a. The major features of thh modification pl:ogram include a 

100 percent increase in propellant capac:i. ty, the capability to burn 

fOl; 2.40 seconds continuously, and a r:esta'rt capability. This modified version of the present XLR-81-Ila-5 engine is designated as the 

XLR··8l~Ba-7 (Bell Atrcraft Model 8081). 

b. A techntca1 d1.rec tion mee ting wi th LHSD and BAC personna 1 

was held at AFB11D on 22-23 Septembe'r. The developm.ent status of the 

aXLR-8l-Ba-7 engine was ii.1vestigated(~omplete1y. Results of ,this o· . 

meetinginiiicat;:er:that.-the program is ess(;i\ntially on sche<iule and 

will continue so to a successful conclusion. 

c, Thrust chamber burn out occuJ:red on two occasions ""hen. the 

solid content 6f the inhibited red fuming nitric acid exceeded 0.05%. 

This is believed to be due to the deposit of small quantities of the 

solid on thE~ wall of the coolant passage, resulting i.n l:estricted heat 

transfer to the cooling media. in localized areas. This m$. tter is 

under investigation. 

d. Engineering design for the double capacity propell;,mt 

tanks was released for fa,brication at the end of August. The baffl~ 

design was based on the bes t expe'rie.nces of U1SD, DAC and COIlvair. 

Slosh testing began on 28 Se.ptember and is scheduled for com.pletion'

used because of it.s proven capability in the fabrication of the ! I smaller tanks. I 

3. PROBLE1'1S ENCOUNTERED 

No significant problems have been encountered during this reporting 

.period. 

4. WORK SCHEDULES 

a. All engine vibrat.ion tests, development tests of the 

turbine asse:mbly; and th~rust chamber tests are complete. The first 

engine will be deHvered to lJ1SD on 7 October. 

b. The first double capacity tank is scheduled for completion 

on. 13 October and will be sent to SANDIA Base (Albuqueirque, Nl'1) for 

centrifuge testing during 15-22 November, 

c. The second tank is due to be completed 2~ weeks after 

the firs t tank and vIi 11 go into a flight. vehicle. 

d. The third tank will be sued for qualification testing 

(pressure, vibration, etc.). Qualification tests are expected to 

o be completed by 1 January. 

e. Tank four or fiv~will be used for engine testing at 

Santa Ct.'HZ Test Ease. At present a steel tank of the same con" 

figuration is being prepared for engine testing at SCTB.

lof Amendment No.4 to ARPA Order No. 17, Order No. 9,6 calls for the 

modification of the AGENA upper stage vehicle to obeain single engine 

;restart ~apability and increase propellant capacity. 

a. PROPULSION 

i '(1) Delivery of the first propulsion' t'e,st veh{cle assembly 

I

Emgine to LHSD, scheduled £ or Oc tober, has s lipped about 30 days. This ') 

( delay resulted from several minor engineering problems \vhich accumulated / 

rf throughout engine development. All such problems have been resolved. 1/ 

'~." -

,This slippage will not result in delays to the launch dates of any 

Iprogram using this vehicle. ' 

I (2) The two preliminary flight rating test engines will be 

availabh~, to start the PF'RT program during November. Delivery of the 

firs t fligl1t engine to Ll1SD is scheduled for the latter part of November. 

(3) A totaL of 2,0,164 seconds of development and production 

tes ting have, been accumula lX::d on the turbine pump assembly,;, 7 ,250 seconds 

at thrust chamber level, and 398 seconds. at prqduction engine level. 

(l() A technical direction meeting was held on 30 October at 

.which the engine contractor presented the current status of the program. !

The first two double capacity propellant tanks have been completed. 

Inertial qualification tests on both tanks will ,begin on 16 November in 

the Ceu-q:ifuge at Sandia Base, New Mexico, The tanks "lill then be shipped i i

, 

to DlSD for 90 pressure cycling and slosh structural qualification tests. I 

Slosh ,tests on the'-mocl<.-up tank have resulted' in selection of a baffle'-

desigh consisting of radial screens in all hemispherical sections and 

perforated truncated cones in the cylindrical section. Tests, using this 

design, are being continued to e§tablish control system constants.

Dire<,:tor 

Advanced Research Projects Agency 

Washington 25, DC 

This is the final report t.o be submitted under ARPA Order No. 96, 

dated 1 July 1959 (Project Code No. 3600). The report covers progress 

during the month of November 1959. ARPA Order No. 96 di.rects the 

modification of the AGENA uppeJ: stage vehicle to obtain single engine 

restart capability and increase pr()pellant capacity. ,~gment.._2~ 

to ARPA Order No. 96 releases program responsibility to the 

Secretary 0 ·le :t.r lTorc-e. Funds available under the order 

were reduced by ,amendment No. 2 from $4·, 250 ~ 000 to zero, 

2. TECHNICAl, PROGRESS, 

, a. Centrifugal testing of the AGENA fiB" test article propellant 

tanks has been completed satisfactorily and vibration testing is now in 

progress. Tank design stressed use of C(,)llponents proven in the AGENA 

"A". For manufacturing sir.npli(~ity, hemiBpherical ends were made uniform 

except for material thickness. This permitted the. use. of straight o . cylindrical sections between end pieces which are ffi8.chined flat, then 

rolled into cylinders. 

b. The AGENA flAil engine (8084) will be used for test procedures 

until, the AGg~iA 'IBIf engine (8081) becomes available. The 8081 will 

incorporate two solid propell~mt turbine starters and necessary \ 

electrical modifi.cations. The. main pressure regulator fuel and .') 

oxidizer vent devices have been redesigned, developed and profluced / 

for the propulsion system. 'l'his unitwlll be tested during the /' 

propulsion test vehicle assembly tn:'ogram n.ow in progress at the 

Lockheed Sunnyvale:; facility:, 

c. MassachuBsetts Instituti of Technology progress on 

development of an advanced orbital attitude control system for the 

I1IDAS/SA:HOS and AGENA coI1:Eigur,'].tion tvas reviEn.qed in November. Pitch 

control appears to pose no immed.iate problem, hOVlljlver, roll-ym",' 

cdntrolled mainly by a large gyro, will present difficulties for

SUBIWf, AGENA Program Progress Report 

as of 29 February 1960 

8 March 1960 

TO, Director 

Advanced Research Projects Agency 

YJas.hington 25) DC 

1. This report) covering progress during February 1960, is submitted in 

accordance with ARPA Order No. 96, dated 1 July 1959 (Project Code No. 

3600). Order No. 96 directs the modification of the AGENA upper stage 

vehicle to obtain single restart capability arid increased propellant 

capacity. 

2. lECHNICl\L STATUS 

a. The propulsion test vehicle assembly and preliminary flight 

rating test programs for the XLR8l-Ba-7 engine development \<Jere essentially 

completed during February. Only a formal review of test results and altitude cha.mber testing remain to complete this development program, The 

formal review oEtest results was started at LMSD on 29 February" The 

altitude chamber te~ting program wil~be conducted at the Arnold Engineering 

Development Center within the next 45 days. The XLR8l-Ba-7 engine will be 

used in the first four AGEN.tb HBIl vehie Ie,s scheduled for the DISCOVERER 

Program. All four fligi1t model engines ha",:~1JE!t?IJ delivered to LJI1SD •. ,,__ ___ " __ •• _. •• • • _____ ._."_ , •• __ - o·

b. Thrust chamber cooling for the XLR8l-Ba··7 engi.ne has proved 

to be critical duritig continuous 2q,o' seconds firing under certain conditions of coolant ambient temperatures and IRFNA solids content. The 

contractor's development effort is being continued to alleviate this 

condition. In the interim; satisfactory chambGt' cooling can be obtained 

by close control of solids content and ambient temperatures (70 degrees or 

be 10vJ) of the n~FNtL 

c. All d(~velopment effo}~t programmed fop the double capaci_t - y'" j,' 

integral propellant tanks has been completed suc~essfully.

1. This r~p()rt., covering progress dl.l:drig AprU 1960, is submitted 

in accordance with ARPA Order No. 96, date~'L".JS,tb:wJ.9".59,..,.,{Proj ect Code

.2. TECHNICAL STATUS 

a. Formal review of the PFRT results of the }~R 8l-J3a-7 developed 

to provide an extended burn and single restart capability has been completed. This review revealed nothing of a nature requiring further 

development effort in light of the programmed usage of this engine. 

,b.. Only .. four ,.flight: cg8',ines of QlisIDgde,l ~q;tU .beus.e,d .:Ln the 

AGENA vehicle configurations •• 

c. hl'hile thrust chamber cooling for' this model has proved to be 

critical during continuous 240 seconds firitlg tLute under certain conditions of coolant ambient temperature and IRFNA -Bdlids content, it 

has been determined that satisfactory chamber cooling can be assured 

by control of oxidizer solids content a'nd ambient teinperature. In 

view of this and the fact that only four engines of this model are to 

be used in AGENA vehicles fu:t~;.:~!~.~~BE~t~!}~:,>,3Lt9X.t._q,<;tJ1"l>~~~£1",.,IiE.£.J2'p,.;;~:'''. 

d. Since no further development effort vJill~be ,conducted on this 

model of the AGENA engine and all deVQ19pUlent effort olf. the double 

capacity integral propellant tanks has been_ cbmpleted suqcessfully, 

the modification of the AGENA upper stage directed by ARPA Order No. 

96 is considered to be completed. This is the final report. .

On 30 Jun J_960 the design of the Hanger Agena B booster was 

proceeding satisfactorily .and the support:lng GSE for checkout at 

Sunnyvale and launch operations was in the early planning state. 

" . On l~ Aug 1960 ,'lOrd was . received from. Dr Hans Hue·ter) Marshall 

Spa~e Flight Center (11flJ..SFC), NASA Agena B Progr8111 Director, that 

the NASA Agena B Program \las to be redirected. I.Ehe :redirection 

involved reducing the total number of programect launches from 

sixteen to nine due to uncertainties in specifications for satellites 

to be launched in 1963 and 1964. Specifically this meant that the 

LMSD contract was shortened to extend through 1962 and support only 

those missions that 'I'len" 'lyesently firm. It VTe:s decj_ded that the 

existing cost p:copo s a]. woUld have to be revised to support the new 

progr81H, thus ~ontract negoti~tions liere suspeHcied~ . 

On' '7 Bep 1960 the ])elrelopment Plan for the NASA Agena B Program

On 8 Sep 1960 a' presentation vias made to MSFC· by. AFBMD anct LMSD 

regarding a change in the test philosophy, 'for the Agena B booster, " ( . ' 

This presentation was '-acceptabl.e to MBFO:811.d action was tall:en to 

implement the recommended changes in the launch control and Santa 

Cruz Test Base (SCTB) areas • 

On 2l Sep ].960 AFBMD lvaS inforrnedthat the mockup of the shroud; 

adapter. and forvrard equipment rack furnished ,Tet Propu.lsion Laboratory 

(JPL) by LMSD vlaS unsatisfactory and 'would have to 'be returned to 

LJv1SD for modification. This resulted in delays in obtaining p:cel.iminaX'y 

infor-ination regarding the Hauger spacecraft operating techniques. 

On 6 Oct 1960 a meeting was held at LMSD during which the first 

over-ail program status report was gi yen. At ·this time it was arinounced 

that the engineering Jlileases for the NASA Agena B second stage booster 

'were behind sched:ule and it \<las anticipated that fiu8J.asSetilbly COlllI)1etion 

date scheduled for 5 Dec 1960 would slip to 2'7 Dec ~L960. Hmrcver) the 

launch date Vlas not endangered by this s:Lippage. 

On 18 Oct 1960 a contract with Fisback and Moore "Tas approved for 

converting the Polaris S·t;atic Test Stand at SCTB for static test:Lng the 

Agena B boosters.
