STUDY OF STORAGE AND HANDLING OF THE 260-IN -DIA SOLID ROCKET MOTOR VOLUME 1

摘要

Evaluations were made of the methods of handling the 260-in.- (6.6-m) dia solid-rocket motor stage between the Aerojet/Dade County Plant and the NASA-KSC Launch Complex 37, Pad B. Also, handling methods were investigated for alternative destinations and motor design including: (1) the NASA-KSC Saturn V crawler/transporter, (2) the U. S. Air Force Western Test Range, and (3) the 260-in.-(6.6-m) dia segmented motor configuration. Initially, three sep¬arate handling methods were identified and evaluated. The optimum handling method selected from the three methods was further defined and refined.
