Statistical Analysis of the Parameter Targeting Precision for the J-2 Rocket Engine Test Program
Abstract
Testing of the Rocketdyne J-2 engine using an S-IVB battleship stage was conducted at AEDC from July 1966 through October 1968 in Propulsion Engine Test Cell (J-4) of the Large Rocket Facility (LRF) in support of the J-2 application on the Saturn IB and Saturn V launch vehicles for the NASA Apollo program. Throughout this test program various temperature and pressure parameters were assigned target values at engine start for the purpose of assuring safe engine operation, for producing predicted flight conditions, or for duplicating actual flight conditions. The work reported herein is a basic statistical analysis performed on thirteen of those targeted parameters for the purpose of determining the precision with which the test facility met these engine start targets.
