Flight No.: 1-52-82 Scheduled Date : December 22, 1964
Pilot: John B. McKay
Purpose : To obtain data for the following programs:
1. Honeywell inertial system check - (Mel Burke)Instrumentation Engineer - (Don Yount)2. MIT Horizon Photometer - (Al Covington)
3. Air Density - (Jack Ehrenberger)
4. Nortronics Sky Brightness - (Lovic Thomas)
5. RAS Modification checkout - (Wilt Lock)
6. Pilot Altitude Buildup
Launch: Delamar Lake #1 on magnetic heading 214°, SAS Hi-Lo-Hi (8-4-8), ASAS "ARMED", both BCS "ON", RAS "OFF," Auto Cutoff "OFF," Ventral OFF.
Launch Point Coordinates:
37° 18' N, 114° 36' W
No. | Time | Alt | Vel | a | q | Event |
1. | 0 | 45 | 790 | 2 | 145 | Launch, light engine, increase to 100% T. Rotate at 10° a ( » 2g) until q = 28°. |
2. | 25 | 48 | 1700 | 10 | 570 | q = 28°. Maintain q = 28°. |
3. | 83 | 121 | 5200 | 6 | 170 | Shutdown. Pushover to a = 0°. RAS "ON," Auto Cutoff "ON." |
4. | 145 | 180 | 4760 | 0 | 16 | Peak altitude. Extend speed brakes to 20°. Maintain q» 0° to 20° a. |
5. | 194 | 142 | 4950 | 20 | 65 | a = 20° - Maintain a = 20° until Hdot = -600 fps. |
6. | 208 | 120 | 4850 | 20 | 150 | RAS "OFF." |
7. | 230 | 90 | 4300 | 20 | 480 | Hdot = -600 fps, pushover, maintain Hdot » -450 fps, extend speed brakes to 35°. (Max reentry g » 3.0). |
8. | 288 | 60 | 2700 | 3 | 825 | Cuddeback. Vector to High Key, speed brakes as required. Engine Master "OFF." |
9. | High Key - check flap and "Squat" circuit breakers in. | |||||
10. | Before APU shutdown, cycle flaps, set stabilizer trim to zero, data "OFF." |
NOTES:
2. Emergency Lakes: Hidden Hills, Cuddeback.
3. Flight Duration: Approximately 10 minutes.
4. Flight plan based on 57,000# thrust engine - Engine #107.
Total burn time at 100% = 87.5 sec.
Launch wt. = 33,450#, Burnout wt. = 15,250#.
2. Malfunction of any SAS channel.
3. Malfunction of inertial platform.
4. Malfunction of Ball Nose.

(a) | 0
- 40 sec.
Pushover to 2° a and extend speed brakes to 35° at 40 sec., shutdown at 5000 fps. Retract speed brakes after shutdown. (Hmax » 110K). |
|
(b) | 40
sec. - S.D.
Pushover to 2° a, and extend S.B. to 35° when failure occurs: shutdown at 5000 fps, RAS "ON." Reenter at 15° a and 20° speed brakes. |

(c) | After
S.D.
Proceed as planned, reenter at 15° a. |
