The stated objective of the 1-6% Information Plan is to provide a, 

cora ully planned prcgr= of public information which con be released • 

as required. In executing the plan we hove 44.ecouraged almost all 

typos of public presentations even thouzh the policy allows for the 

release c)f material after clearance through tbo security sad policy 

review system. We believe it would be in the bast interest. of the 

program to have a limited number of unclassified professional 

papers -- dealing with such till:tan as crew safety presented at 

selected Mee tinv of the scientific cocrtentity. • 

Attached is an abstract of the,type of roper we would consider. 

Completed papers would be carefully reviewed by my staff and forwarded 

to your allies. for final clea-ratt4a before priemtetion. We would 

advise DeD end contractor on=itgat 1.004)= ith potential authors that we 

are net canaturaging a large volume of proposed papers and that .Taa are 

going to be very selective in the eta/ ChM.= for presentation. Vs 

would &leo caution them not to malse guy capaitments to present a paper 

I do not consider this a chanze in the basic II01, public affairs 

policy but rather en interpretation of the policy as it is applied to 

professional papers. Unless you have soma other thoughts of which I 

might not be were we shall proceed in this manner.'.

Titan IIIM Launch Crew Escape System..; RONALD H. SCHACK, 

Director, Titan IIIM Launch,yehicie Program, and ROBERT R. WOLFE, 

Assistant Director,, MOL Systems Safety,\Aerospace Corporation, 

El Segundo, California. 

The capability of the Gemini B Spacecraft to successfully abort 

from all Titan LT1M primary failure modes during ascent is analyzed 

in detail. Tradeoff studies of several configurations are presented, 

including an escape tower, adapter propulsion, and additional retrograde rockets. The Titan IIIM malfunction detection system is defined 

which, when combined with the selected Gemini. B configuration, 

provides an escape capability for all significant failure modes during 

.ascent. .The selection of a launch vehicle redundancy mechanizatiozi 

is described based on vehicle-related parameters such as abort 

warning time, vehicle motions and single failure modes, as well 

as system performance, weight, and development risk. Candidate 

guidance and control redundancy configurations included the Gemini 

Launch Vehicle sense-and-switch technique,. a pilot-copilot digital 

computer system, and several majority vote -systems. three channel 

overpowering majority vote system was seleCted which essentially 

eliminates all mission, single modes of failure in the guidance and 

control system.
