FAR FIELD NOISE AND VIBRATION LEVELS PRODUCED DURING THE SATURN SA-1 LAUNCH

Abstract

Acoustic measurements were made of the sound pressure level-time functions which were produced at six locations on Cape Canaveral Missile Test Annex and at four locations in the surrounding communities during the Saturn SA- 1 launch on 27 October 1961. The frequency range of measured data was from the 4.7 to 9.4 cps octave band to the 4800 to 9600 cps octave band. Distances from the launch site to the noise measuring sites ranged from 3700 to 100,000 feet. Vibration data were taken at three locations at the Tel-2 telemetry site. The frequency range of measured data was from the 4.5 to 9 cps octave band to the 1125 to 2250 cps octave band. The distance from the launch site was 5200 feet. Only the basic sound pressure level-time environments and vibration level-time environments as a function of octave bands of frequency are presented in this report.
