Computerized optimization of elastic booster autopilots. Volume 1: Technical manual
The philosophy and the mathematical basis of the nonlinear programming algorithm underlying the development of the COEBRA program were given. A User's Manual was given in a separate document. The purpose of this work was to convert the COEBRA program from the CDC 6400/6500 digital computer system to the UNIVAC 1108 at the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center and to provide an instruction manual on the use of the program
Apollo applications program crew motion experiment program definition and design development
Mathematical model for optimizing design criteria for Apollo man/spacecraft system and incorporating extensive physical and digital simulation of basic crew motion
