Abstract

Two research vehicles were delivered to the NASA Flight Research Center in the Spring of 1964. After delivery, several months were devoted to checking systems and installing research instrumentation. During this period, many problems were encountered which required extensive modifications to the vehicle and its systems. Subsequent development flight testing disclosed additional problems and resulted in further modifications. This paper discusses the nature of these problems and the performance of the flight control systems during the early flights.
