NASA TO LAUNCH SECOND SATURN VEHICLE

The second Saturn C-1 heavy space vehicle (SA-2) will be
launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, by the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration no earlier than April 25, 1962.
This vehicle test will be almost identical to that of the
first Saturn (SA-1) which was launched successfully Oct. 27,
1961.
The main purposes will be to further test the propulsion
system of the booster or first stage (S-i) which was launched
successfully October 27, 1961.
The Saturn is being developed for the manned lunar landing
effort and other programs of the NASA under the direction of the
NASA Office of Manned Space Flight. Technical direction and
supervision of the program is the responsibility of the NASA
Marshall Space Flight Center. The NASA-. Launch Operations
Center will conduct the launching.
Only the first Atage of the Saturn will be powered in
tais flight. Two upper stages (S-IV and S-V) will be inert,
ballasted with water to simulate the weight of live stages.
The vehicle will be fired over a short ballistic trajectory,
with the first stage engines operating for about 115 seconds.
Maximum rocket velocity will be about 3,750 mph.
The one significant difference between this test and
SA-1 will be the addition of a "bonus" scientific experi-
ment which will be conducted following the completion of
the primary mission objectives--i.e., after the booster
engine operation has been completed.
1-1
 The Saturn vehicle will be deliberately destroyed some 45
seconds after booster burnout. This will occur at about 65
miles altitude. The explosion will release in the upper
atmosphere most of the 95 tons of water ballast which is
being carried in the upper stages.
The purpose of the experiment, known as "Project High Water,"
is to investigate the effects of the unprecedented release of a
large volume of water in this region. This is an experiment in
the physics of the ionosphere, an attempt to see what effects
might take p5lace due to chemical or physical properties of water
at that altitude. Ice and vapor clouds are expected to form and
to be visible for many'miles on a clear day.
This is the second of ten Saturn C-1 research and develop-
ment flights. After these tests are concluded in 1964, the C-1
is expected to be ready for use in the first phase of the Apollo
manned lunar landing program--that step being the placement of a
three-man spacecraft in earth orbit for up to two weeks.
D. Brainerd Holmes, director of the NASA Office of Manned
Space Flight, summed up the launch of the first Saturn as follows:
"This firing was one of the most complete successes in the
history of experimental rocket testing. Eight large engines,
each delivering 165,000 pounds of thrust, operated for full
duration.... Every part of this most complex rocket stage
thus far attempted by the United States performed well. The
entire 12-hour countdown that preceded the firing was conducted
without a single technical interruption."
An advanced version of the rocket, the Advanced Saturn,
will enter R&D flight testing in 1965. With five times the
booster thrust of the C-1, the Advanced Saturn will be used
to send the Apollo spacecraft t:o the moon.
The SA-2 vehicle is 1.62 feet in height. It will weigh
about 927,000 pounds at liftoff. In these early flights the
eight H-1 engines in the booster cluster develop about 165,000
pounds thrust each, providing a stage thrust of 1.3 million
pounds. For the fifth flight and thereafter, the engines will
have 188,000 pounds of thrust, giving a stage thrust of 1.5
million pounds. Saturn is the world's largest known rocket.
SA-2'n boonter will be loaded with about 620,000 pounds
of propellant, short of the designed capacity of 750,000
pouidi. This propellant will be burned at a rate of more
1-2
than 5,000 pounds a second. The upper stages will carry 190,000
pounds of water, or about 23,000 gailons. The dummy payload is
the nose section of a Jupiter missile, weighing more than a ton.
The launching will be conducted at Launch Complex 34, Cape
Canaveral, which was completed in June, 1961, and is being used
for the second time.
The main vehicle objectives of the SA-2 flight are:
*Determine the in-flight performance of the eight booster
engines, the controlling movements of the four gimballed engines,
and engine cutoff and propellant utilization.
*Verify structural integrity of the vehicle's airframe,
evaluating stress at critical moments of flight and determining
vibration and bending modes.
*Further prove the operation of launch facilities for
Saturn vehicles--propellant supply systems, ground support
equipment, automatic checkout equipment, instrumentation,
and launch pedestal with hold-down arms.
Other flight objectives include confirmation of aerodynamic
characteristics, correlation of predicted stability and performance
with that encountered in flight, demonstration of the capability
of the modified ST-90 stabilized platform in the guidance and
control system, and demonstration of the vehicle instrumentation
system.

FLIGHT SEQUENCE
The SA-2 flight plan is essentially the same as SA-1's.
The vehicle will, be launched on a path 100 degrees east of
north. The peEs. velocity will occur at cutoff---about 3,750 mph.
Discounting t1s destruction of the vehicle as it nears the apex,
the peak altitude would be about 88 miles and the impact range
would be about 225 miles from the launch site.
A smooth tilt program will begin about the 10th second of
flight and continue until about the 100th second when the rocket
will be inclined at 43 degrees against the launch vertical.
The vehicle will pass through the condition of maximum
dynamic pressure about 60 seconds after liftoff. The four
inner engines will be cut off at about 109 seconds. At about
115 seconds, the outer engines will be cut Oft. The range at
cutoff will be about 19 railes; the altitude, 35 miles.

1-3
 The two sets of engines are cut off in a staggered arrange-
ment to prevent unacceptable oscillations which might occur if
all were shut down at the same time. Also a more complete fuel
consumption is permitted.
The figures given here assume that all eight engines operate
in a normal manner. The Saturn, however, has an "engine-out"
capability. This capability, although it will not be fully
realized until fins are added at the booster tail section on
the fifth flight, allows the failure of one or sometimes two
engines without causing a failure of the mission.
The engine-out capability derives from the fact that fuel
and liquid oxygen t.nks have separate propellant interchange
systems at the base of the booster. In case of an engine failure
these interchange systems make available to the remaining engines
nearly all the propellant which would have been consumed by the
dead engine. The total booster burning time is increased to
compensate for the diminished level of thrust.
The degree of the rocket's performance with an engine dead
depends on which engine is out and at what point in flight the
failure occurred.
CHANGES IN BOOSTER TANKAGE

In the flight of SA-1, relatively minor instability of the

vehicle was noted after 90 seconds of flight. It did not approach
the point of endangering vehicle control or structural integrity.
This instability was due to the sloshing of propellants in the
booster's tankage.
To remedy this situation, additional anti-slosh baffles
(weighing 300 pounds) have been placed in the lower end of
the eight outer tanks. The 105-inch center liquid oxygen tank
has baffles throughout its length. There has been no change in
it.
VEHICLE MEASURING PROGRAM

Six hundred and 22 channels of information will be radioed

from the SA-2 vehicle prior to and during flight. Of the total,
527 are so-called flight measurements, i. e., data radioed to
ground stations on the many aspects of rocket performance
following liftoff.
Flight telemetry transmits measurements such as: engine
turbine temperature and rpm; positions of valves; temperatures
1-4
of engine bearings, heat exchanger outlets, tail skirt, turbine
exhaust, high pressure spheres used for pressuring fuel tanks;
pressures in combustion chambers, propellant tanks, inert.upper
stages; strain and vibration measurements at critical locations
on the rocket; stabilized platform position, velocity measure-
ments; motion of engines, propellant level with respect to engine
cutoff; and battery voltage and current, and inverter frequency.
These data will be recorded at telemetry recording stations
at Complex 34 and elsewhere at Canaveral. In addition, 95 "block-
house" measurements will be taken during the countdown and flight.
These measurements generally duplicate the most critical nieasure-
ments listed above; however, the data flow directly to the Launch
Control Center for immediate observation and use by test conductors.

ENVIRONMENTAL MEASURING PROGRAM

Sound is of considerable concern to the developers of large
iiunch ve'hicles. The Marshall Space Plight Center conducted a
three-year sound investigation effort in connection with the
Saturn development program. The purpose was to study the nature,
intensity and transmission of this type of sotmd to aid in the
location of test and launch facilities in order to assure an
adequate degree of protection for personnel and property.
The primary program effort to date has monitored static
firings at Huntsville. The first three or four live firings
at Canaveral will also provide critical data.

The sound pressure levels measured during the SA-1 launch

generally agreed with predicted values. On the day of the
launch, however, ideal meteorological conditions existed, and,
as a consequence, the sound of Saturn as heard in nearby Cocoa
Beach was no greater than that of certain other rockets launched
at Canaveral. This, however, was a rare condition, and residents
are advised that sound pressure levels on SA-2 and other Saturns
may be greater, although there will be no danger whatsoever to
persons or property.

A total of about 50 measurements of acoustic, vibration

and blast will be made on the SA-2 launch. Sensors will be
located at and surrounding Launch Complex 341,elsewhere on
Canaveral, on Merritt Island and the mainland up to a distance
of about 10 miles from the launch site.

The majority of the measurements are being made by MSFC.

Other organizations participating include the Air Force Missile
Test Center, the USAF Aeronautical Systems Division's environ-
mental survey team, and the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Service,
the latter of which will conduct ground vibration measurements.

 SATURN PROJECT BACKGROUND AND VEHICLE FACT SHEET

Saturn is a project of the National Aeronautics and Space

Administration to develop large rockets for the manned and un-
manned exploration of space.

The initial version of Saturn, now in the flight test phase,

is known as C-1. The primary early use of the vehicle will be in
connection with the nation's manned lunar exploration program,
which is directed by the NASA Office of Manned Space Flight,
headed by D. Brainerd Holmes.

The Saturn development program is under the technical

direction of NASA George C. Marshall Space Flight Center,
Huntsville, Alabama, headed by Dr. Wernher von Braun. Hundreds
of industrial contractors and suppliers are participating. The
booster or first stage program is centered at the Marshall Center;
upper stages are being developed by industry.
Several versions of the rocket are planned, each more
powerful than its predecessor. Saturns use conventional
chemical rocket propellants in the first stage and high-energy
chemical propellants in upper stages. Later Saturns may use
nuclear propulsion in. some upper stages, for which initial
design studies are now underway.
Saturn is expected to be the major heavy vehicle for U. S.
space exploration for a number of years. It is the first large
rocket developed specifically for scientific space programs and
manned spaceflight.

BACKGROUND
As early as the spring of 1957, studies were being made by
Dr. von Braun's rocket development group at Huntsville on large,
cluster-engine rockets.
In the late summer of 1958, the group, then working for
the U. S. Army, received authorization from DOD's Advance
Research Projects Agency to proceed with design and develop-
ment of a 1.5 million-pound thrust booster rocket based on
the clustered engine concept. The program was specifically
set up to demonstrate with captive test firings the feasibility
of the clustered engine concept.
By November, 1958, the go-ahead was given to build four
flight-test vehicles and to study development Problems associated
with reliable multistage Saturn vehicles. Preliminary planning
for upper stages was begun.

2-1
 In 1959 technical direction of the program was transferred
from the Department of Defense to the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration and on July 1, 1960, the Huntsville develop-
ment group was transferred to NASA's newly-established Marshall
Space Flight Center.
THE SATURN VEHICLE
The current Saturn configuration, C-1, will consist of two
stages, S-I and S-IV. The 10-vehicle research and development
flight test program will end in 1964. In the first four flight
tests, only the booster (S-I) will be live. In the others, the
booster and the second stage (S-IV) will be live. While the
primary purpose of the first 10 fli6,ics is to prove the vehicle.
The last flights in this series will have secondary missions of
testing early models of the Apollo spacecraft.
Initially it was planned to use three live stages in several
of the 10 C-1 flights. Two changes in the program, however, will
permit the accomplishment of the Apollo missions using a two-stage
rocket: (1) the thrust of the S-IV stage was increased from 70,000
pounds to 90,000 pounds by the addition of two engines and(2) the
propellant capacity of the S-I is to be increased, beginning with
the fifth flight.
On the first four flights, with inert upper stages, the
vehicle will be about 162 feet high. Beginning with the fifth
flight, the vehicle, with Apollo spacecraft mock-up, will be
about 170 feet in height. Also beginning with the fifth flight,
aerodynamic fins will be added at the booster's tail section to
give the Saturn a capability for broadly-varied missions in the
future.
In the first flights using inert upper stages ballasted
with water, the C-1 configuration will weigh about 927,000
pounds at liftoff. In later flights using Apollo hardware
as payload, the C-1 will weigh 1,100,000 pounds.
Following are descriptions of the Saturn C-1 stages:
S-I: The Saturn C-1 first stage (S-I) is powered by a
cluster of eight Rocketdyne H-1 engines, each of which will
ultimately produce 188,000 pounds of thrust to give a total
of 1,500,000 pounds. The H-l's in the SA-2 launch are rated
at 165,000 pounds thrust each.
The H-1 engine, an advanced and compact offspring of the
Jupiter and Thor engine, was selected because of its relative
simplicity, early availability, and proven reliability. It
burns RP-1 (kerosene) fuel and liquid oxygen. Major changes
incorporated in the H-1 include a simplified start sequence
using a solid propellant gas generator and location of the
turbopump on the thrust chamber below the gimbal block so
that the flexible propellant feed lines to the engine need
only carry low pressure propellant.
2-2
 The eight H-1 engines are attached to an eight-legged thrust
frame on the aft end of the vehicle, arranged in two square pat-
terns.' The four inboard engines are rigidly attached and canted
at a three-degree angle to the center line of the booster. The
outboard engines are canted at an angle of 6 degrees and mounted
on gimbals which permit them to be turned through angles of up
to 7-1/2 degrees to provide control of the vehicle during first
stage powered flight.
Nine separate tanks feed the eight H-1 engines. Clustered
in a circle about a large center tank of 105 inches in diameter
are eight smaller tanks, each 70 inches in diameter. The center
tank and four outer ones contain liquid oxygen, while the remain-
ing four outer tanks carry the kerosene fuel. The fuel tanks are
pressurized by gaseous nitrogen carried in 48 fiberglass spheres
atop the tanks and the liquid oxygen tanks are pressurized by
gaseous oxygen obtained by passing liquid oxygen through heat
exchangers that are part of each engine package.
The fuel tanks as well as those containing liquid oxygen
are interconnected at the base to allow the maintenance of
equal levels in all tanks during burning. In case one engine
malfunctions and is cut off during flight, this arrangement
permits the remaining seven engines to consume the fuel and
oxygen intended for the dead engine. Thus, the burning time
of the seven remaining engines is increased and there is little
loss in overall booster performance.
The nine propellant tanks are attached at the top by an
eight-legged spider beam.
One test model and the flight SA-1 and SA-2 boosters
have been successfully static fired a total of more than 25
times, including several full duration runs of about 120
seconds.
The first several Saturn flight boosters are being produced
at MSFC. Later ones will be produced by the Chrysler Corp. at.
NASA's Michoud Operations plant, New Orleans, Louisiana.
S-IV: The S-IV second stage of the C-? vehicle will be
poweredTy six 15,000-pound thrust Pratt and Whitney RL-10
liquid hydrogen-liquid oxygen engines.

The S-IV is 18 feet in diameter and about 40 feet in length.

Its development was begun almost two years ago by the Douglas
Aircraft Co. in Santa Monica, California.
The s-r1f stage uses an interstage structure which provides
space for the six engines and transmits the load from the upper
part of the rocket to the support points on the etage beneath.
This structure will remain with the lower stage upon separation -
in flight.

2-3
'Vs
 i1

The mid-portion of the S-IV is primarily an aluminum

cylindrical container componed of the liquid-oxygen tank
located behind the larger liquid hydrogen tank.
Attached to the cylindrical section are small rockets
to be used in separation of the S-IV from the S-I stage. At
the forward end of the cylindrical containers is the structural
assembly or forward adapter which will provide support for a
-spacecraft or S-V stage. Retrorockets for separation of the
S-IV and S-V are mounted on this adapter.
S-V: The S-V was required in an earlier Saturn configura-
tion iand could be the third stage for some later C-1 operational
flights. It will be a Centaur modified for use on Saturn, using
two RL-10 engines of the type employed in the S-IV.
GUIDANCE AND CONTROL
The initial Saturn guidance and control system is primarily
an adaption of Jupiter system components to meet Saturn require-
ments. One significant departure is the addition of rate gyros
as sensing elements. Structural bending of the large and rela-
tively flexible Saturn required rate gyros for stabilization.
Saturn uses all-inertial guidance. More advanced hardware
will he introduced into the system as the guidance missions
become more demanding. Object of the guidance scheme'is to
provide a universal system that is capable of performing a
variety of mission requirements placed on the vehicle to meet
payload objectives. This universal guidance concept will allow
a variety of requirements with a minimum of changes.
Heart of the final guidance scheme is a high-speed digital
computer incorporating advanced techniques of design and packag-
ing and capable of meeting Saturn's high reliability standards
and difficult missions in terms of programming.
For S-I, for example, the guidance system will automatically
give corrective signals necessary to compensate for deviations
resulting from loss of thrust should one of the eight H-1 engines
fail to perform properly.
SATURN MISSIONS
The two-stage Saturn C-1 vehicle will be capable of placing
a payload of about 20,000 pounds in low orbit.
The Advanced Saturn, by comparison, will be Able to place
more than 200,000 pounds in low earth orbit or send 80,000 pounds
to escape velocity.
2-4
 Major early uses of Saturn vehicles will be in connection
with manned space exploration. The two-stage C-1 will be used
to place Apollo Spacecraft, carrying three men, into earth orbit
of up to two weeks duration. The advanced version will send a
later model of the same three-man spacecraft to a moon orbit
and return. These two steps are in preparation for a manned
lunar landing which could be accomplished using a still larger
vehicle (Nova5 in a direct flight or with Advanced Saturn employed
in orbital rendezvous.
Other possible uses of Saturn include launching of soft-
landing stationary or roving payloads of instruments on the
moon, probes to Venus and Mars, and 24-hour communication
satellites. The Saturn may also be used for other manned
earth orbital experiments and as a carrier vehicle for
nuclear propulsion tests.

TRANSPORTATION
Because of its size, transportation of the S-I from
Huntsville to Cape Canaveral poses a unique problem. It '-s
too large to be moved by conventional rail, highway or air
transport. As a result a barge is used to transport the
S-1. The route includes the Tennessee, Ohio and Mississippi
Rivers, the Gulf of Mexico, and intercoastal waterways to
Cape Canaveral on the east coast of Florida. The distance
is more than 2,000 miles.
The S-IV stage is planned to be shipped by water from its
point of manufacture on the West Coast to Cape Canaveral, via
the Panama Canal.

 SATURN LAUNCH Cu'-MT- P,-( 34

The second Saturn C-1 vehicle will be fired at Cape

03.naveral from a massive site designated "Launch Complex 34,."
The niultirmillion dollar facility was completed last year and
was used in the launching of the first Saturn October 27, 1961.
It is located on 45 acres at the north end of the Cape.
Construction of the complex was done for the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration under the direction of
the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, Jacksonville (Fla.) District.
Major industrial contractors were Diversified Builders, Inc.,
of Montebello, California, for the launch control center; Kaiser
Steel Corp., Montebello, California, for design and construction
of the service structure; and Henry C. Beck Co. of Palm Beach,
Florida, for the launch stand and appurtenant facilities.
The general criteria from which the complex was constructed
wa3 prepared by the NASA Launch Operations Center, which launches
Saturna from the complex. LOC is headed by Dr. Kurt H. Debus.
Here is a thumbnail sketch of Complex 34:
*A 4 5-acre installation, dominated by a movable structure
310 feet high and weighing 2,800 tons.
*A Launch Control Center with walls 12 feet thick having
a steel door two feet thick which weighs 23 tons.
*Ef'ficien, fuel and liquid oxygen stonage facilities
which are capable of pumping 750,000 pounds of liquid
propellant into the big booster in approximately an hour.
*A launching pedestal foundation reinforced by 414o00
cubic yards of concrete and 580 tons of steel.

*A total of 100 million pounds of concrete used in

construction.

*A unique Automatic Ground Control Station, a room 38

feet wS&e by 215 feet long, lveated beneath-the concrete
and steel launching pad.
FUTURE LAUNCH FACILITIES

About a mile north of Complex 34 is the site where NASA's

new complex, designated 37, is being constructed. Scheduled

3-1
for first-phase completion late in 1962, this new complex wil
eventually have two launch pads, served by a common, rail-
mounted tower.
Farther north of 34 is the site of projected NASA expansion
which will permit the construction and operation of six ox, more
large Advanced Saturn and Nova-class launch vehicle complexes.
NASA has announced plans for the acquisition of some 80,000
acres for this expansion which covers lands north and west of
present Cape facilities.
The planned complexes will be a base for manned lunar flights
and other missions requiring Advanced Saturn and Nova-class boosters.
YfAJOR EMIEM1ATS OP COMPLEX 34
Service Structure: The service structure is 310 feet tall.
It has t7in legs measuring 70 feet by 37 feet at the base. The
center opening, in which the rocket is situated during checkout,
is 56 feet wide.
Each of the legs contains a two-floor building which houssWs
the structure's operating equipment and rocket checkout apparatus.
A huge bridge crane of 60-ton capacity is on the structure to
erect the rocket on the launching pedestal.
Said to be the world's largest movable irhe&eLdi t;tructure,
the tower can be controlled by a single operator, situated in
a cab at the 27-foot level. The tower is capable of moving
from 1-1/2 to 40 feet per minute. During-launch it is parked
some 600 feet from the launch pedestal.
Launch Center: The Saturn control building is very
similair tothEe blockhouses built at Canaveral for Titan
and Atlas missiles. It has 10,000 feet of protected floor
space on two levels and an additional 2,150 square feet of
unprotected space in an equipment room which will not be
occupied during launchings.
The first floor of the building is to be used by booster
and upper stages contractor personnel involved in tracking and
telemetry operations.
The main firing operation is located on the second floor.
Equipment includes firing console, test supervision and conductor
consoles and various monitoring and recording panels.
Launch Pad: The launch pad, constructed of reinforced
concrete, is 438 feet in diameter and eight inches thick.
Special foundations have been provided for the service
structure and the launch pedestal.
3-2
 Pedestal: The pedestal is looat3ed in the center of the
launch pad. It is 42 feet square and 27 feet high. The pedestal
foundation contains 4,400 cubic yards of concrete and 580 tons of
steel. Its depth varies from eight feet at the center to four
feet at the edges.
Bolted to a ring at the top of the pedestal are eight-arms.
Four are support arms and the other four both support the rocket
and restrain it from liftoff until the proper combustion has been
achieved by all eight H-l engines.
Deflector: Beneath the launch pedestal is a rail-mounted
flame deflector. This steel structure diverts the 5,000 degree
F. jetstream in two opposite, horizontal directions. A spare
deflector is parked on a spur track on the same side of the
pedestal.
Umbilical Tower: Adjacent to the launch pedestal is the
umbilical tower, the main function of which is to provide elec-
trical, hydraulic and pneumatic lines to the rocket.

Automatic Ground Control Station: A room known as the

automatic ground control station is located immediately beneath
a major portion of the pad. It serves as a distribition point
for all measuring and checkout equipment, power and high'pressure
gas. It is not occupied during launching.
Fuel System:RP-1 fuel (kerosene) is provided to the booster
from two above-ground tanks located about 950 feet from the launch
pedestal. The tanks have a capacity of 30,000 gallons each. Un-
like many fueling operations, this one is completely automated,
being operated from the control building. Normally the booster
will be fueled in about 40 minutes.
Liquid Oxygen S stem: There are two liquid oxygen (LOX)
storage tanks 650afeet from the launch pedestal, well removed
from the fuel facility. A six-inch line feeds the rockets at
a flow rate of up to 2,500 gallons per minute. It takes about
40 minutes to fill the Saturn booster's five LOX tanks, which
hold an estimated seven tank car loads.
High Pressure Gas acility: There are several uses of
gaseous nitrogen and helium in the preparation and firing of
the Saturn. A high-pressure gas facility is located about
1,100 feet from the launch pad. There are 36 storage vessels
divided into two groups. Four contain helium used for bubbling
the LOX tanks of the booster. Thirty-two contain nitrogen which
is used for purging fuel and LQX lines, englpe and in..rumept
compartments, for air bearings and for certain pressure-operated
components such as valves.
3-3
 Skimming Basin: A skimming basin is located about 300
feet from the edge of the pad on the beach side. This vat
is used to collect fuel which might be spilled on the pad,
thus preventing it from enteringnormal Cape drainage canals.
Water Systems: A water system has been installed on the
pad and throughout the service structure, primarily as a safety
measure. Water is avialable at all work levels on the tower for
fire protection. There is a quenching system for use in case
fire occurs accidentally ih the "boattail" or engine compartment;
this system is also used to extinguish flame in the engine com-
partment in case the engines are cut off immediately after ignition
and before liftoff.
Opertion Suort Building: On the opposite side of the
control building from the launcih area is an operations support
building which will be used for general shop and engineering
activities in direct support of launch operations.
Communication Sstem: A voice communications system has
been Insta ll by the Mu-nch Operations Center. The system
consists of about 200 stations scattered throughout the 45-acre
installation.

 PROJECT "HIGH WATER"

A scientific experiment--known as Project "High Water"--

will be conducted in conjunction with the research and develop-
ment flight of the second Saturn space vehicle.
The 95 tons of ballast rater carried in the inert upper
stages of the Saturn will be released--by explosion--at an
altitude of 65 miles. The explosion should occur at about
160 seconds after liftoff and -Z large cloud of ice particles
is expected to be formed from L.ivater released in this near
vacuum.
The ice and vapor cloud i.,expected to be visible to
viewers in the Cape Canaveral ticinlty.

This scientific experiment is sponsored by the NASA Office

of Space Sciences, with mar.- organizations making independent
observations. It is being ) ,.'ned and coordinated by the Marshall
Space Flight Center's Research ?rojects Division.
Pro4ect High Water will not interfere in any way with the
flight of SA-2. The objectives of the flight test will have
been met at the time the vehicle is exploded. The water in the
A inert upper stages has to be carried by the vehicle for ballast,
s'mulating the weight of fuel later "live" stages will carry.
Very little special vehicle preparation is required in the
vehicle to carry the explosive charges The explosives (prima-
cord and shaped charges) are installed in the upper stages and
will be activated by ground command, using the normal destruct
system of the booster.
Scientific Objectives

Broadly, she objective of the experiment is to observe

the effect of this large mass of water on the upper region of
the atmosphere or lower ionosphere. Data obtained should be
of much value in defining the normal state of this area,
scientists say. High Water project technicians are particularly
interested in the .chemical and physical effects the released
water vapor may have on the "high atmosphere."
This Is thought to be the largest such release of water
in this altitude region.
As a preliminary to the experiment, a small scale water
release was conducted March 2 by NASA's Goddard Center in
4-1
Greenbelt, Maryland. About 40 pounds of water was released at
an altitude of 65 miles from a Nike Cajun rocket launched from
the NASA Wallops Station, Virginia, shortly before sunrise. The
ice cloud formed by this experiment was visible from as far away
as Washington, D. C.

Sequence of Experiment
The explosive charges attaihed to the Saturn vehicle will
be initiated by a radio signal from the ground when the rocket
reaches the altitude of prime interesU-t-about 65 miles. If all
eight booster engines operate properly, this will occur about
160 seconds after liftoff. The vehicle will be about 50 miles
dowri the Atlantic Missile Range on its trajectory. The vehicle
will be broken into several pieces and its components will
generally follow the normal trajectory down range.
The water will immediately boil at the time of the explo-
sion. In boiling, an estimated 15 per cent of the water will
evaporate alway immediately--the remaining 80-85 tons will form
into a cloud of very small ice particles along the remainder
of-the vehicle trajectory.
Persons watching from Cape Canaveral should see (on a clear
day a large cloud immediately after the explosion. The cloud
of The particles will continue on down the intended Saturn tra-
jectory, gradually thinning out and perhaps forming a vapor
cloud underneath the trajectory.

Although the cloud will quickly fade as far as naked eye

observation is concerned, it will remain enough intact for
observations to be made by instruments for several minutes to
several hours after the water is released.
The cloud will be observed by a large number of cameras
and radar devices operating at Cape Canaveral and nearby on
the Florida mainland, on aircraft flying patterns all along
the trajectory at various altItudes, and by tracking cameras
located on Grand Bahama Island.
Many of the observations will be made from the time of
the release until after dark on the day of the launch, depending
upon the persistence of the cloud.
Twenty-two ground-based cameras will take part in the
experiment at various locations along the trajectory, accord-
ing to tentative indications from the many participants.
4-2
 Ten or more aircraft will provide camera coverage.
Thi.rteen radars of the search, track and weather type will
be used, as well as ionosondes in three locations.
Instruments will be devoted to various types of measure-
ments according to the major interests of the snonsors. Some
examples are: track brightest object or ice for*trajectory
information, track In release area xor cloud growth and turbu-
lence, make triangulation measurements for cloud position,
oblique view angle of cloud by radiometers with selectable
filters, radar scan from various angles, and measure air glow.
To fully observe and study the formation, growth and dis-
position of the cloud, NASA haE invited several agencies to
participate In this experiment.
Several American organization3--including the three armed
services--and British and Canadian agencies will carry out.
important tracking and observation roles independently.
