controlling rotation, t r a n s l a t i o n , a n d t h r u s t v e c t o r f o r c e s with additional
capability of r a t e stabilization.

The SCS is divided into t h r e e b a s i c s u b s y s t e m s : attitude r e f e r e n c e ,


attitude c o n t r o l , a n d t h r u s t v e c t o r control. T h e s e s u b s y s t e m s contain the
e l e m e n t s which provide f o r manu'al attitude control, a u t o m a t i c attitude

a u t o m a t i c functions.

The s u b s y s t e m / c o n t r o l capability allows the f r e e selection of s e v e r a l


m o d e s of o p e r a t i o n which f a l l within the boundaries of t h r e e e n t i r e l y

2. 8. 3. 2 . 3 P u l s e - C o d e Modulation T e l e m e t r y ( P C M TLM) Equipment.

The function of the P C M T L M equipment ( f i g u r e 2 . 8 - 7 ) is to c o n v e r t


TLM d a t a inputs f r o m v a r i o u s s o u r c e s into one serial digital output signal.
This s i n g l e output s i g n a l is routed to the P M P for t r a n s m i s s i o n to the MSFN
or to the DSE f o r s t o r a g e . The P C M TLM equipment is contained i n two
s e p a r a t e units located i n the l o w e r equipment bay: P C M unit 1 and P C M
unit 2.

Input s i g n a l s to the P C M TLM equipment a r e of f o u r g e n e r a l types:


low-level analog, high-level analog, p a r a l l e l digital, and serial digital.
Some of the low-level analog inputs a r e supplied d i r e c t l y f r o m the i n s t r u -
mentation s e n s o r s ; o t h e r d a t a inputs are routed through the d a t a distribution
panel (DDP).

Two m o d e s of o p e r a t i o n a r e possible: the high- ( n o r m a l ) b i t - r a t e mode


of 5 1 . 2 kilobits p e r second (KBS)and the low- ( r e d u c e d ) b i t - r a t e mode of
1. 6 KBS. Operational mode is s e l e c t e d by placing the TLM INPUTS-PCM
switch o n MDC-20 t o HIGH o r LOW, as applicable. When the s w i t c h is i n
the L O W position, the high P C M b i t - r a t e c a n be c o m m a n d e d by the M S F N
via the UDL equipment.

Mylar tape.

T h e P C M T L M d a t a is obtained f r o m the PCM T L M equipment as a


s i n g l e serial pulse t r a i n a t a high b i t - r a t e of 51. 2 KBPS o r a low b i t - r a t e

channels, each of which a s a r e s u l t i n g p u l s e repetition r a t e ( P R R ) of only
12.8 KBPS o r 0 . 4 KBPS (one-fourth of the original PRR). The P C M T L M

the DSE, which is a l s o divided by four. T h e s e five s i g n a l s , the four
channels of P C M T L M and the clock signal, a r e amplified by the five digi-

channel, the 25-kc r e f e r e n c e and timing s i g n a l f r o m the FQR, is scheduled

back to a s i n g l e serial pulse t r a i n which is fed to the P M P equipment. The
b i t - r a t e of t h i s output will always be 51. 2 KBPS, even if the r e c o r d e d d a t a

throughout the m i s s i o n t o up-date o r change the s t a t u s of o p e r a t i o n a l s y s -
t e m s . The UDL (figure 2. 8-12) c o n s i s t s of a UHF-FM r e c e i v e r , a t r a n s i s t o r
mode switch, detecting and decoding c i r c u i t r y , a buffer s t o r a g e unit, output
relay d r i v e r s , and a power supply. The UDL provides the m e a n s f o r MSFN
to update the AGC, the C T E , and t o s e l e c t c e r t a i n vehicle functions.

Two operational m o d e s a r e possible: UHF and S-band. The mode


n o r m a l l y used is UHF. In this mode, the incoming 450-mc up-data c a r r i e r
is r e c e i v e d by the VHF omni-antenna equipment and fed to the UHF r e c e i v e r
i n the UDL. The intelligence is detected f r o m the c a r r f e r and routed
through the mode switch t o the sub-bit d e t e c t o r , which c o n v e r t s i t to a
serial digital signal. The digital output f r o m the sub-bit d e t e c t o r is fed to
the remaining- UDL c i r c u i t r y , which s t o r e s and checks the digital - data,
d e t e r m i n e s the p r o p e r destination of the d a t a , and p r o c e s s e s i t to the
a p p r o p r i a t e S / C s y s t e m o r equipment.

R e a l - t i m e commands f r o m the r e a l - t i m e command ( R T C ) d r i v e r s


a r e supplied to the UDL RTC r e l a y boxwhich contains four, RTC,
2-position, latching r e l a y s . Thus eight r e a l - t i m e commands a r e possible:
four " s e t " commands and f o u r " r e s e t " commands. The c h a r t o n the
following page lists the eight c o m m a n d s by n u m b e r and function.

The S-band up-data mode can be s e l e c t e d when the USBE is in o p e r a -


tion. In this mode, the UHF r e c e i v e r i n the UDL is deactivated and i t s
function is r e p l a c e d by the USBE r e c e i v e r and the PMP. Up-data i n f o r m a -
tion can be t r a n s m i t t e d to the S / C within the 2-kmc S-band signal. When
this signal is received by the USBE receiv.er; the 70-kc s u b c a r r i e r con-
taining the up-data information is e x t r a c t e d and s e n t to the up-data

tion, the t r a n s m i t t e r sends a response pulse to the selected antenna. This
3-microsecond delay gives the R F switch time to operate. It a l s o enables
MSFN personnel to simultaneously o b s e r v e the transponder reply and the
skin t r a c k reply on the s a m e visual display device (cathode r a y tube) f o r
comparison.
Two modes of operation can be selected: 1 pulse o r 2 pulse. Mode
selection will depend on the type of e a r t h - b a s e d r a d a r equipment that is
being used a t a p a r t i c u l a r a r e a in the o r b i t a l path. During the launch and
ascent phases of the m i s s i o n , the 2-pulse mode will be used.
The only external control f o r the C-band transponder equipment is the
C-BAND three-position toggle switch on MDC-20. The O F F position
removes a - c power f r o m the equipment; the 1 PULSE and 2 PULSE positions
apply a - c power to the equipment and s e l e c t the mode of operation. Activa-
tion and mode selection can a l s o be commanded f r o m the MSFN by a r e a l -
time command via the UDL equipment.

The VHF recovery beacon equipment (figure 2. 8-21) provides a l i n e -
of-sight direction finding capabilities to aid i n locating the S / C during the
recovery phase of the mission. It is located i n the s a m e e l e c t r o n i c s pack-
age a s the VHF/AM t r a n s m i t t e r - r e c e i v e r equipment i n the LEB. The
beacon signal emitted i s a n interrupted 243-mc c a r r i e r , modulated by a
1000-cps s q u a r e wave. The signal is transmitted f o r 2 seconds, then
interrupted f o r 3 seconds.
Manual control of the equipment i s provided by the RECOVERY -
VHF-BCN, two-position O N / O F F switch on MDC-20.
The output of the VHF recovery beacon equipment is fed to VHF
recovery antenna No. 1, which is deploved automaticallv when the main

SECTION 4
PERFORMANCE

INTRODUCTION.

This section contains information on crew display instrument


markings, instrument accuracy consumable requirements, thrusting
data (as available) , and S/C operational constraints and
limitations.

4.1 CREW DISPLAY INSTRUMENT MARKINGS AND ACCURACY DATA.

Paragraphs 4.1.1 through 4.1.7.4include information on


instrument markings and instrument accuracy. Adjoining tabular
lists provide accuracy data for each indicator scale and list
the measurement number of the signal which is monitored on each
indicator scale. Some indicators can, by selection, monitor
more than one signal; in which case, the measurement number of
all signals monitored by the indicator are listed. Selector
switch and indicator fbnctions are covered in detail in
section 2.

centage of pressure from the Q-ball) during launch. After
launch vehicle separation from the S/C, the gauge is used to
display SPS combustion chamber pressure during engine operation.
Inputs to this time-shared gauge are determined by the position
of the L/V AOA/SPS Pc switch, located on the same panel.

in figure 4-13. Assumptions applicable to the curves shown in
figure 4-13 are as follows:

0 The dynamic disturbances accounted for are SPS propellant


slosh, the earth orbit aerodynamics and gravity gradient,
ECS steam venting, and rotating EPS and ECS equipment.

0 A nominal maneuver of 50k0.5 degrees per axis.


0 This data may be ratioed to account for different maneuver
angles. The propellant consumption must be decreased by
10 percent for a 30-degree maneuver and increased by
20 percent for a 100-degree maneuver.

The manual single-axis maneuver propellant consumption is


the same as the single-axis maneuver in paragraph 4.2.1.2.

Figure 4-21. Cryogenic Consumption Versus Fuel Cell Current

In order to maintain fuel cell operating efficiency,


purging of each power plant is accomplished every 7 hours. The
purges will normally be staggered so that a H2 purge will follow
an 02 purge by 3.5 hours. The present purging cycle of 7 hours
is based upon the maximum normal power output of 1420 watts per
fuel cell. The time between purges is based upon the ratio of
the present maximum of 1420 watts/fuel cell power plant to the
actual maximmi gross power demand times 7 hours. Thus, if the
actual miximum gross power demand is 710 watts/fuel cell
module, the nominal purge interval of 7 hours would be increased
by 1420/710 or 2. Multiplying 2 times 7 would then provide a
purge interval of 14 hours. During purging, the power plant
continues to consume reactants in the quantities required to
produce the power demanded by S/C electrical loads. The
duration of each H2 purge is 80 seconds and 120 seconds for
each 02 purge.

TIME FROM LIFTOFF (SKONDS)

NOTES: 1. Zero on the vertical scale indicates the maximum vibration experienced during flight. The vibration levels
are based on boilerplate and spacecraft flight test measurements.

2. Letter "A" indicates vibration time induced by booster engine exhaurt (influenced by the flame buckets) and
noire rdlected from the ground and launch pad.
3. Letter"'B" indicutes vibration induced by aerodynamic turbulence. As the launch vehicle velocity increases,
pressure fluctuations in the turbulent boundary layer (and woke turbulence from the launch escape tomr)
excite vibration of increasing intensity until a maximum is reached at approximately the time of maximum
aerodynamic pressure (MAX 0).
4. SPS engine operation provides the only significant source of C/M vibration during space flight maneuvers.
This vibration, transferred mechanically throughout the S/C structure, con generally be expected to decrease
with increasing distance from the engine. Since the RCS engines passes a very low thrust capacity, their
operation will only produce modest and localized vibration (mostly due.to iet impingement).
