Acceleration and Control Maneuvers Test on Centaur Attitude Control System,
Abstract
The objectives to the tests performed were the following: to verify that Centaur accelerations in space have been duplicated on the coast phase test stand; to determine the engine decay impulses to give the differences between actual and engine commanded changes in velocity; and to define the autopilot switching lines from the recovery maneuvers. Records were also taken of the test stand operating conditions, pressures, temperatures, and propellant consumption. (Author)
