NASA/SP-8099, Houbolt, J. C., Combining ascent loads, NASA SPACE VEHICLE DESIGN CRITERIA (Structures), NASA (Washington, DC, United States), June,1972, pp. 36, Format(s): PDF 1597k |
Criteria and guidelines are presented for combining loads that develop during the ascent phase of a space flight. The primary load-caring structure is discussed including the basic tank and interconnecting members, engine support mounts and connections to tank structure, transition structures between stages, payload shrouds, and the basic support points at separation planes.
