Mariner Jupiter / Saturn 1977 Functional Requirements Document 1974-1978.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/733100195

The collection includes the Mariner Jupiter Saturn '77 Project Functional Requirements document as amended during the period of 1974-1978. The document provides a functional description of the spacecraft at both the system and subsystem levels. The resultant bound volume was not a publication of a single date, rather it was a series of amendments written over a five year period by cognizant subsystem engineers and approved by the Spacecraft System Engineer, cognizant engineer's supervisors, division representatives and, where applicable, principal investigators. The collection consists of a disassembled two-volume document; JPL 618-205, here arranged in files as originally sequenced. The files include cover page, contents, interoffice amendments, introduction and distribution list for amendments plus the body of the document. The document includes standard procedures and spacecraft design criteria for requirements and constraints as well as standard trajectories for 1974 through 1978. Arrangement as bound is maintained. Sequenced identification numbers are associated with each folder. Interoffice Memo Amendments and revision Amendments created by the Mission Design Team on the Operations, Systems and Subsystems of the MJS '77 Project are included.

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is a research and development center and NASA field center in Pasadena, California. The JPL is owned by NASA and managed by the nearby California Institute of Technology. The laboratory's primary function is the construction and operation of planetary robotic spacecraft, though it also conducts Earth-orbit and astronomy missions. It is also responsible for operating NASA's Deep Space Network. Among the laboratory's major active projects are the Mars Scien...

The Voyager Project was originally called Mariner Jupiter-Saturn '77 (MJS '77). Voyagers 1 and 2 were launched September 5, 1977 and August 20, 1977 to take advantage of a favorable alignment of the Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus. Using gravity assist flybys and well-planned trajectories, the spacecraft encountered all four planets without the need for an impractical amount of propellant. The Voyager Project was the longest and most complex of any unmanned mission so far. The d...
