Environmental protection requirements for scout/shuttle auxiliary stages (English Edition)

The requirements for enabling the Boy-scout upper stages to endure the expected temperature, mechanical shock, acoustical and mechanical tremblement environments during a specified shuttle achèvement were determined. The study consisted of: determining a shuttle achèvement trajectory for a 545 kilogram (1200 pound) Boy-scout payload; reproduction of shuttle environmental avantage; determining of Boy-scout upper stages environments in shuttle missions; reproduction of Boy-scout upper stages environmental dénomination criteria and comparison to shuttle achèvement expected environments; and recommendations for enabling Boy-scout upper stages to endure the exptected shuttle achèvement environments.
