1. A fe,,1 months ago AFRPL entexed discussions ,"ith Colonel A. 

Gardner relative to this Laboratory's participation in your 

Advanced Agena Development Program. Under Co1.onel Douthetl: IS 

leadership and "lith management stimulus from our higher headquarters., vIe have iimproved our effec tivencss in providing engi·· 

neering support to APSC's weapon systens divisions. 

2. Use of AFRl'L as SSD's "engineering arm" seems to be a natural. 

An alternate would be to use Aerospace Corporation as your engineering support element. The basic Agena propulsion ,JaS developed 

by the Air Force (including laboratories) and its contractors without usin.g Aerospace. At the time the 6 Dec 1966 letter vIas prepared 

(Atch ill), it seemed that the three parties; Le., 33]), Lockheed 

and '1)e11, vlere ir.. £[;\.'0:::' of utUi{',ir'8; AFRPL for ellgineering support. 

3. Hithin the past 6 months 'tle have evidenced significant growth 

in our SUppOIt of BSD. Typical of the understanding we estabU.sh 

,vi th BSD on each of their progra'11S ,,,e support is the correspondence 

dated 9 Dec 66 and 16 Dec 66 (Atch #2). 

4. Recently \\Ie have proposed a method for assessing the effectivity 

of laboratories. Three copies of this proposal report are attached. 

You \vill note that the proposal promotes further lIcouplingJf between 

laboratories and the systems divisions. You Ivill find laboratory 

effectivity being measured largely by the impact that laboratories 

can bring into Air :Force \<lCapOIl systems. Not only are you the target 

of our technology product, but you also val;idate the worth of any 

technology. 

5. VIe remain interested in supporting your development of the advanced Age.na and \·,ish to conclude a degree of formality much the 

same ·as 'Ive have been doing \<lith BSD. In the event that S3]) has other 

plans in mind, i;le would appreciate being advised, /_ ...................... )

an improved Agena with the NZ 04 engine with the first flight 1:0 be in 

June 1970, and that SAFSP Project 110 will be the first project to use

by the standard Agena SPO in a.ccordance with the criteria I outlined at 

the recent SAFSP presentation to General Ferguson which you attended.

SUUJt:CT: Improved Agena Flight Test 

TO: SMG-2 (General Cooper) 

1. Ref,erence your letter on above subj ect, dated 11 August 1967. 

2. I agree that the Agena Program Office will have responsibility for 

the iden!gt~"<:I:ti():tl_9:n,,:t~n.stallatiQj)'QtY_~.hifJ."~L~;g.§JL'BrL~.:gt~Jign to v£.!ify 

the Age1!:~ __ E~E!:~Er~~~p.~.~:.§:::.~~_ters as identified in the development 

criteria. I will expect this installation to be completed prior to 

turning the Agena over to Illy responsible project office (SP-7) fSlr 

projec~p~_.C:ll-li_a_rization and payload integration. I also agree that the 

Agena Program Office will be respons"ible for analyzing flight data 

with respect to the perfonnance of the Agena. " 

3, I do not agree to joint or shared responsibility for the test flight; 

the flight lTIUSt be prepared and conducted under unequivocal a:3sign11lent of specific responsibilities, Except as clarified in paragraph 2, 

above, these responsibilities are assigned in my 23 June letto:r on the 

SalTIe subject. We will. of course, work closely with the Agena SPO 

in planning and carrying out this important flight, and will welcom.c 

their assistance in analyzing any Agena flight anomaly which rnay 

occur.
