Mariner Jupiter / Saturn 1977 Pre-Assembly Requirements Collection, 1969-1977.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/733100835

The collection describes the spacecraft parts that were received, shipped, reshipped, tested, pre-assembled and assembled. There are documents on project plans, functional requirements, hazardous materials, Radioisotope Thermal Electric Generator summary reports, radiation control requirements, flight support equipment, inspection records, Voyager spacecraft hazardous reports, critical safety reviews and various other memoranda of the MJS '77/ Voyager Project. The originator of the documents varies. Documents names that used "MJS" or "Mariner Jupiter/ Saturn", in contrast to Voyager, at the time of their creation are retained. The collection consists of four disassembled binders and nineteen volumes of documents with JPL 618-prefix series here arranged in files as originally sequenced. The files include cover page, contents, introduction and distribution list plus the body of the document. The document includes standard assembly procedures from VGR77-2 known as Flight-1 and VGR77-3 also known as Flight -2. Also there are spacecraft inspection requirements, flight equipment and functional spacecraft daily activity procedures at both the system and subsystem levels for periods 1969 through 1977. Arrangement as bound is maintained. The original covers of the document were photocopied and the original binders discarded. Information from divider tabs in the binders was made a part of the file folder descriptions below. The Spacecraft System Engineer, cognizant engineer's supervisors and division representatives for the MJS '77/Voyager Project created the interoffice memoranda and revisions found in the collection.

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...

Project Voyager, originally called "Mariner Jupiter/Saturn '77" (MJS '77) was approved by NASA and the U.S. Congress in June 1972. It was a dual spacecraft long-range mission that conducted a "Grand Tour" of the Outer Planets, visiting Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, as well as various planetary satellites, and continued beyond to the outer reaches of the Solar System. The name of the project was changed from "Mariner Jupiter/Saturn" to "Voyager" in early March 1977. A...
