STUDY SUMMARY- S-II Stage Structures Case 320

[luke strawwalker]

Here's some interesting stuff on the Saturn V second stage, the S-II stage. The summary is verbatim what the descriptions at the beginning of the study entailed, with the dimensioned diagrams and photographs making up the rest of the report. Enjoy!

Where did you find these?

Where did you find these?

I've got probably a couple hundred studies on my hard drive that I've collected over the last few years (and recollected after my last computer's hard drive went up in smoke)... Most of them I get from links from posts on places like nasaspaceflight.com forums, the secret projects forum, and of course the NTRS (NASA Technical Resources Server).

I've summarized probably a dozen or more in the scale section-- just search for "Study Summaries" and you'll find the ones I've done before...

More to do soon... Later! OL JR
