This Saturn IB Flight Manual provides launch vehicle systems descriptions and predicted performance data for the Skylab missions. Vehicle SL·2 (SA-206) is the baseline for this manual; but, as a result of the sreat similarity. the material is representative of SL-3 and SL4 launch vctlicles, also. The Flight Manual is not a control document but is intended primarily as an aid to astronauts who are training for Skylab missions. In order to provide a comprehensive reference for that purpose, the manual also conlains descriptions of the ground support interfaces, prelaunch operations, and emergency procedures. Mission variables and constraints are summarized. and mission control monitoring and data flow during launch preparation and flight are discussed. This manual was prepared under the direction of the Saturn Program Engineering Office, PM-SAT-E. Marshall Space Flight Center, Alabama 35812. Illustrated throughout.This is high quality reprint with some occasional limitations on the quality of the photographs, but the many line drawings and technical drawings are excellent throughout.
