The Boeing Company, Wyle Laboratories, NASA Manned Spacecraft Center, and
the NASA Langley Research Center
This
book presents the state-of-the-art criteria and recommended practices for
rocket and spacecraft testing. It covers test conditions and specimen,
data and instrumentation, test plans and reports, and similar topics.
It was
originally written for designers and analysts to confirm the feasibility
of a structural design approach, demonstrate the advantage of one design
over another, identify failure modes, confirm analytical methods, and generate
essential design data.
The text
presents a comprehensive study of structural tests (structural capability,
characteristics, active performance, and equipment environment and performance.
It's the result of NASA and prime aerospace contractor's programs developed
over more than 40 years.
The book
is supported by related photos, illustrations, graphs, tables, and charts.

This
is a valuable reference resource for the professional (and “amateur”) rocket
scientist, engineer, technician, aircraft designer, and scientific experimenters.
There
are two pages of technical references. Very hard to find and
now out-of-print, this new limited edition has been republished by the
Rocket Science Institute. It's sharp, and clearly printed with a
high-resolution
laser printer (not
photocopied) on high-quality, bright-white, 24-pound, acid-free paper for
years of reference use. 35 pages, large and easy-to-read 11"
x 8-1/2" size. $14.95
