Each launch pad accessory i s given a general description followed by a more detailed description of major components. The operation of each launch pad accessory includes those operations that a r e performed to p repa re the accessory for vehicle launch a s well as the operation at launch commit.

1 .2 UMBILICAL TOWER SWING ARMS

T h r e e swing a r m s a re attached to the umbilical tower to support the various se rv ice l ines that connect the vehicle to the ground support equipment. The th ree swing a r m s are located at different levels on the umbilical tower. Swing a r m No. 1 is located between the 108- and 118-foot levels , swing a r m No. 2 is between the 128- and 138- foot leve ls , and swing a r m No. 3 is between the 158- and 168-foot levels.

Pneumatic and hydraulic p r e s s u r e s a r e used to uncouple the se rv ice l ines from the vehicle. and to rotate the swing a r m s c l ea r of the vehicle liftoff drift pattern. above, swing a r m No. 1 rotates counterclockwise, while No. 2 and No. 3 a r m s rotate clockwise.

The main attachment plate, on the tower end of t he swing a r m , is fastened to the hinge assembly. Swing a r m s No. 2 and No. 3 a r e equipped with an extension a r m that is fastened to the attachment plate on the vehicle end of the basic a rm. T h e s e extensions increase the length of the basic a r m to compensate for the difference in the distance between the umbilical tower and the vehicle at the upper stage attachment points. A sheet metal t r a y , running the length of the swing a r m , supports the various vehicle servicing lines.

1 . 2 . 1 . 2 Hinge Assembly (Figure 1-1). The hinge assembly is connected to a weld- ment on the umbilical tower. The bottom hinge contains a lockpin assembly that s e c u r e s the a r m in the servicing position. caused by wind loads o r hydraulic leakage. A coil spr ing in the lockpin assembly holds the lockpin piston in the extended o r locked position until hydraulic p r e s s u r e is applied. Retracting the lockpin, mechanically opens a mechanical valve in the hydraulic supply line; thus ensuring that the swing a r m is free t o rotate before hydraulic p r e s s u r e is applied to the lanyard r e t r ac t cylinder o r the rotary actuator. A cam-operated valve located on the top portion of the hinge assembly is actuated by a camplate. A s the a r m rotates away from the vehicle, the cam gradually c loses the valve and r e s t r i c t s flow in the hydraulic return line, progressively reducing the r a t e of a r m travel as the a r m approaches the bumper assembly.

The lockpin prevents a r m rotation, which might b e

Two short cable masts a r e mounted on the launcher to provide quick-disconnect capa- bility for electrical cables and pneumatic lines that connect the ground support equip- ment to the s-I stage. Short cable mas t s No. 2 and No. 4 a r e s imi l a r in construction and identical in operation. of cables and pneumatic lines required for each mast. Because of these s imi la r i t i es , only the description and operation of short cable mast No. 2 is given in the following paragraphs.

Significant differences a r e type, s ize , quantity, and routing

1.3.1 Description (Figure 1-2) - Each short cable mast assembly consis ts of a support platform, a mast weldment, two kickoff cylinders, a quick-release housing, a latch-back mechanism, and a trunion.

T h e support platform provides sufficient elevation so that the quick-release housing will mate with the vehicle umbilical plate. Two detachable work platforms and one extension platform a r e attached to the top of the support platform to furnish a working a r e a during prelaunch operations. The detachable work platforms a re relfioved and the extension platform is folded and secured pr ior to launch.

The support platform is a four-sided t r u s s s t ruc tu re that One s ide of the support platform i s

The kickoff cylinder rods slip out of the pin-holddown devices and the 0

1.3.1.4 Retract Cylinder. A double-acting pneumatic retract cylinder supplies the force necessary to pivot the short cable mast. At liftoff, 750-psig GN2 flowing into the top of the r e t r ac t cylinder pivots the mast backward. Fifty-psig GN2 is constantly vented at the bottom of the cylinder to cushion the backward swing of the mast.

1.3.1.5 Quick-Release Housing. The quick-release housing, mounted at the upper end of the mast weldment, contains electrical cable and pneumatic service l ine con- nectors which link the vehicle to the ground support equipment. The housing i s secured to the S-I stage umbilical plate by a ball-lock release pin assembly. A r e l ease a r m is attached to the pin assembly to re t rac t it from the ball-lock mechanism . A s the vehi- cle l if ts approximately two inches, a roller mounted on the other end of the r e l ease a r m moves down a groove in the mast arm. The r e l ease a r m pivots about a hinge and forces the pin to re t rac t ; thus the quick-release housing is freed from the S-I stage umbilical plate.

1.3.1.6 Latch-Back Mechanism. A latch-back mechanism, bracketed between the mast weldment and the trunnion, provides a positive lock for the mast in either of t h ree retracted positions. The lock prevents the mast from rebounding into the vehicle liftoff drift pattern. The first position holds the mast approximately four inches from the vehi- cle to prevent the mast from striking the vehicle during mast erection. The mid-position s e c u r e s the mast out of the vehicle liftoff drift pattern. The kickoff cylinders should force the mast to this position even if a failure occurs in the pneumatic retraction system. The third position is the fully retracted position; normally, the retraction system positions the mast to this position.

1.3.2 Operation (Figure 3-4) - Short cable mast operation includes the sequence for prelaunch erection and automatic launch retraction. The operation of short cable mast No. 2 and short cable mast No. 4 is identical; therefore.,only the operation of short cable mast No. 2 is discussed.

1.3.2.1 Mast Erection. The short cable mas t is erected as follows:

a. The latch-back mechanism is manually released and the mast is manually moved toward the vehicle.

b. The piston rods of kickoff Cylinders Assemblies A6511 and A6526 a r e inserted into the vehicle pin holddown devices.

Vent port Check Valve A6523 is removed and a variable (250-to 750-psig) GN2 supply is attached to Orifice A6516 to supply pneumatic p r e s s u r e t o the bottom of Retract Cylinder A6522.

A s Retract Cylinder A6522 is gradually pressurized, the mast moves forward and Release Pin Assembly A6500 is guided into the S-I Stage umbilical plate receptacle. The kickoff cylinders are further compressed as the mast moves toward the vehicle.

After the housing is secured to the S-I stage umbilical plate, p r e s s u r e is bled from the auxiliary supply l ine and the r e t r ac t cylinder. The auxiliary supply line i s then removed and vent port Check Valve A6523 is re-installed.

All service lines are connected to the proper nipples and connectors on the quick-release housing and a re secured.

A t T minus 5 seconds, a solenoid valve (A5602, volume V) in the launcher is energized and 750-psig GN2 flows through Check Valve A6514 to pre-pressurize the upper part of Retract Cylinder A6522. The 750-psig GN2 a l so flows through P r e s s u r e Regulator A6518 and Check Valve A6517 into the lower pa r t of the r e t r ac t cylinder, through Orifice A6516 and Check Valve A6523. seconds a second signal concurrent with the launch commit signal, opens another solenoid valve (A5603,volume V) in the launcher. This allows 750- psig GN2 to flow through Check Valve A6520 to provide backup p r e s s u r e f o r the mast re t ract system.

1 .4 FUEL AND LOX MASTS

The fuel and LOX mas t s connect propellant t ransfer l ines to the vehicle s torage tanks. The LOX mast is located on the launch pedestal between stub fin 2 and fin III. The fuel mast is located on the launch pedestal between fin I and stub fin 1.

1.4.1 Description (Figure 1-2) - The two mas t s a r e s imi l a r in construction; however, the fuel mas t is 18 inches longer and contains the turbine exhaust duct. Major com- ponents of both mas ts a r e a retractable coupling assembly , cylinder assembl ies , a mas t a r r e s t o r , a r e t r ac t assembly, a mounting assembly , and a valve box assembly. The description of the two mas ts i s essentially the same ; therefore,only the fuel mas t is described. Differences, where applicable, a r e described.

The top clevis i s connected to the retractable coupling assembly and the bottom clevis is connected to the upper pipe weldment of the mast. The spr ing in the cylinder is preloaded to maintain the piston, with the attached retractable coupling assembly, in the extended position. When 750-psig GN2 is applied to the p r e s s u r e port , the piston is forced down in the cylinder body and the spr ing is compressed. The piston rod causes the bellows to contract and r e t r ac t the coupling assembly. s u r e in the cylinder is vented, the spring forces the piston to re turn to the original position.

o r away from the vehicle. The re t rac t assembly consists of a r e t r ac t cylinder a s sem- bly with extend and retract por t s , a cylinder support, a clevis, and an adjustment wheel. The r e t r ac t cylinder assembly is connected to the upper portion of the mast by the cyl- inder support and the clevis. Application of 750-psig pneumatic p r e s s u r e to the cyl- inder assembly retract port forces the cylinder piston down and causes the upper portion of the mast to swing away from the vehicle. The adjustment wheel controls the amount of swing by lengthening o r shortening the re t rac t assembly. Pneumatic p r e s s u r e applied to the erect port , and vented from the retract port , moves the cylinder piston to the original position and swings the upper portion'of the mast to the servicing position under the fuel nozzle.

The turbine exhaust duct is a pa r t of the fuel mast only and i s not on the LOX mast. Due to the flammable nature of RP-1 fuel, the fuel mast a lso incorporates a flame a r r e s to r . The flame a r r e s t o r consis ts of an inner and an outer s c reen arrangement installed in the fuel flow path between the upper pipe weldment and the retractable coupling assembly.

When pneumatic p re s - s u r e is applied t o the quick-release mechanism, the link assembly is re leased at pin joint "C". This forces the a r m to rotate around pin joint "A" and r e l ease the vehicle. T h e link assembly folds downward, rotating around pin joint I1Dt1. The lower link en- counters a replaceable shea r pin module which absorbs kinetic energy and dece lera tes the motion of the a r m and link. With the holddown a r m In the r e t r ac t position, Micro- switch A4411 t ransmits a signal to t h e launch control cen ter to indicate that the hold- down a r m has been released. Two liftoff switches are located on holddown a r m s I and I11 and two swing a rm control switches a r e located on holddown a r m s XI and IV. The switches are spr ing operated and a r e held open by the weight of the vehicle. At liftoff the switches a r e released.. The liftoff switches signal the launch control cen ter that liftoff has been accomplished. The swing a r m control switches send a signal t o the swing a r m s to initiate swing a r m retraction. To provide environmental protection against fire and explosion due t o e lectr ical sparks , the switches a r e purged with 50- psig GN2 f rom a regulator (A2121, volume V) located in valve panel No. 5.
