Summary:

This paper discusses the mechanical, hydraulic, and heat transfer aspects of designing a hydraulic system to gimbal the engine on the Saturn S-IVB Booster Stage. This stage requires restart capability after a moderate period of orbital coast.The design configuration which satisfies the overall functional and environmental requirements is shown. Specific areas of discussion include:The results of certain laboratory tests which have been conducted pursuant to the development of the system are discussed.CREDITPhases of work presented herein were accomplished by the Missile and Space Systems Division under the Saturn IVB program sponsored by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
