OSTF PROGRAM EMA TESTING (APRIL 1961)

Abstract

Testing was directed toward determining the effectiveness of the MA-3 booster engine servicing technical data and the performance of certain special tests. The equipment used for the booster engine tasks was found generally sufficient and adequate. The (reliability improvement demonstration was a goof-proofing study conducted as a direct result of the failure of missile 16E and was designed to locate all areas of possible misconnection within the engine envelope, between the AGE and the engine, and the missile and the engine. An evaluation of changes was made in the engine flush and purge procedure. Other special tests included a checkout of new filters for the G 3067 hydraulic pumping unit, a checkout of the SPGG torque wrench, and an evaluation of the results of certain potentially hazardous AGE misconnections.
