Abstract
An SLV-I system description and flight operation summary is presented for ready reference to the SLV-I program and to facilitate reliability evaluations. The system description is brief and primarily concerned with defining configuration differences. The flight operation summaries are extracts of system hardware performance and anomalies as reported in contractor flight evaluation reports. The SLV-I is an inexpensive, diversified missile used for space exploration. Basic configurations of SLV-I used are: LV-1B, threestage (unguided); SLV-IB, four-stage (unguided); BSI, three-stage (guided); BSII, four-stage (guided); and SLV-IA, four-stage (guided). Various payload requirements can be met by utilizing available motors. Flight histories, diagrams, charts, schematics, and tables are included.
