These specifications are based on the best available definition of requirements and interface characteristics of complementing subsystems. Frequently, in the field of manned spaceflight, the spacecraft subsystems, the launch vehicle subsystems, and the ground systems must be designed and constructed concurrently. This means that the operating and interface characteristics of one subsystem are not available for use by the engineers in the design of the other subsystems. Close technical liaison among the various engineering groups is essential in the accomplishment of overall systems' integrity. Component and subsystem testing has been developed to a high degree, but the results of these are necessarily limited. They cannot validate the overall systems' performance and compatibility. It is considered mandatory that the interfacing subsystems be mated to form a complete system in a controlled test environment as early as practicable in any program, especially in one involving communications systems as new and as complex as those for Apollo. This must be accomplished at such a phase in the program that corrective engineering details can be fed back to the cognizant design, fabrication, or integration groups involved in time for necessary modifications prior to the beginning of the flight phase.","PeriodicalId":13050,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Aerospace","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1965-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81540293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The primary function of this system is of course, life support, but at least secondary in importance is the communications link with the lunar spacecraft and earth. Another function supplied by the system is suit telemetry to safeguard the astronaut's well being, as observed by monitors on earth. This includes the transmission of physiological data as well as suit environmental and performance data. The latter includes such things as suit pressure and the amount of oxygen remaining in the suit system. This paper describes the two functions of voice communications and suit telemetry. It includes functional requirements of the communication system which encompass range, relay links, and redundant modes. Design considerations are also briefly covered including past development work leading to the present prototype system. The paper also describes some of the hardware implementation problems including suit antenna considerations.","PeriodicalId":13050,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Aerospace","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1965-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85644922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The controlability of the modern cycloconverter makes it particularly suitable for such applications as precise AC electric drive systems and light weight variable speed, constant frequency power generating systems. Due to the assumptions of infinite load inductance and infinite frequency ratio, the use of classical grid-controlled rectifier theory in the analysis of practical cycloconverters is not sufficiently accurate. According to classical theory, only ripple components of distortion appear in the cycloconverter output. This paper deals with the origin and nature of sub-ripple distortion components in the output.","PeriodicalId":13050,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Aerospace","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1965-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84353884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
