Unit of Instructions for Test Facility Systems
.
Rocketdyne Division of North American Aviation, Inc.


A digitally-restored copy of the rare (1964) Rocketdyne liquid rocket engine test facility systems training manual.  This one of the key books that was used to train rocket engineers and technicians for static testing the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo propulsion systems.

Comprehensive and highly-technical, this unusual "working document" describes in great detail the complete static test facilities systems, equipment, plumbing, tanks, valves, instrumentation, wiring, and fire extinguishing apparatus. 

You can use it to learn how liquid oxygen is made, handled, piped, stored, and controlled.  It also covers working with liquid hydrogen, liquid oxygen, high-pressure helium, and other exotic chemicals, as well as the usual rocket fuels of that era.

You can also use it to design your own rocket test systems!  A perfect addition to the library of every serious rocket scientist, engineer, technician, experimenter, or space historian.
 
 


A sample page of the section describing production of liquid oxygen


The book has many schematics, diagrams, and flow charts of the
liquid propellant rocket engine test facilities, such as these examples





There are also many detailed engineering drawings
            of components; this shows a special valve assembly........

Long out-of-print, this new limited edition of the original Rocketdyne text has been digitally restored and republished by the Rocket Science Institute.   106 pages, including numerous drawings, tables, and charts.  Size is 8.5 by 5.5-inches. 

Here's your chance to have an exceptional rocket science textbook at an affordable price.  Printed with a high-resolution laser printer (not photocopied) on high-quality, bright-white, acid-free paper, and quality bound for years of reference use.  This document will become a valuable part of your library.  $24.95
