Appendix C S-II Stage Checkout Tests and Interdependencies Fred Cordia was Rockwell s chief engineer, S-II electrical and flight controls, during the Apollo/Saturn program. He prepared the charts in this Appendix based on his original flow charts from 1971, which he used to track the flow of S-II processing at KSC. Obviously, there are some tests shown that were unique to the S-II. However, Cordia s flow charts serve as excellent examples of the types of tests and checks that stage contractors conducted at KSC, from the time a stage arrived in the VAB through its launch on a mission. The table following the diagrams provides a key to the tests and activities in the flow charts. Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015 J.H.

Appendix E Firing Room Area A Staffing During Apollo 11 and 14 Countdowns Area A in the firing room housed 68 leaders and managers of the launch vehicle tests and launches. On launch day, the senior leaders from KSC, program managers from Huntsville and Houston, the test supervisor, launch vehicle test conductor, contractor managers and stage test conductors, and other managers in the launch vehicle and spacecraft organizations manned this area. The four rows of area A were stair-stepped down to the firing room floor. Row A was the highest row, adjacent to the window facing toward the launch pad, and it was here that the most senior managers sat on launch day. Area A was a physical manifestation of the leadership hierarchy: each successive row down from row A was a step farther down the management chain. NASA test supervisors and test conductors usually rotated between missions in being the lead or the backup in their role (Figs. E.1 and E.2 ). APOLLO 11 LAUNCH MANAGEMENT TEAM The listing below, mostly taken from a July 3, 1969 KSC press release, documents the area A personnel officially scheduled to be on duty at T-0 during the Apollo 11 countdown.
