Engine trouble that has
plagued the Nations moon
rocket development program
for two years has finally been
corrected.
This was revealed by the
space agency's general man
ager. Robert c. Seamans, in an
interview here. Joint studies by
industrial, Government an d
university scientists resulted in
corrective redesign Of the
mammoth FL engine, DR.. Sea-
mans said.
The FL Is planned for use in
clusters Of five to lift the Sat-
urn-5 moon rocket from the
Merritt Island CFla) launching
area visited last week by Presi-
dent Kennedy. The five-engine
cluster will develop rs million
pounds thrust. more than
enough to propel the 3,000-ton
moonship to the edge of space
Instability Found

But although the "fix" has

known among rocketeers as
the kitchen sink" because of
"all the weirs. dams and what
not that have been built into
it," in the words Of one engi-
neer.
A further modification, de-
scribed as much cleaner" Is in
the works. Results with this
improved design are very
promising" according to Oscar
Bessie, one of the space agen-
cy's Office Of Manned Space
Flight.
The FL was originally set
for its preliminary flight rating
tests in 1868. but this timetable
was changed after the initial
trouble In 1861. Mr.. Bessie said
these tests will probably be
completed in the early months
Of next year.
Five F-1s are due to be clus-
tered for q Static-firing on q
test stand at Huntsville, Ala,
next summer. The first actual
flight Of a Saturn-5 rocket
with q live first stage and
dummy upper stages Is set for
1866.
Fuel Test Next Week
Another key element In the
moon rockets propulsion-the
J-2 engine-is proceeding nice
ly through development, Mr..
Bessie said. He indicated that
the J-2 may beat the FL
through preliminary flight rat
ing tests, but II so the time DIFF
ference will be short.
The J-2 will use the so-far
unflown mixture Of liquid hy-
drogen and liquid oxygen, q
much peppier fuel combination
than the kerosene-oxygen pro-
lpella It used in conventional
rocket ngines including the
FL. The J-2 will develop
100000 pounds Of thrust, clus-
tered in a group Of five, 1t will
propel the second stage Of the
Saturn v moon rocket.
Hydrogen and oxygen as o
fuel combination will get their
first flight test next week with
a smaller rocket, II present {
schedules hold. The long
delayed Centaur firing Is set
for Thanksgiving week.
