Nachbildung der Saturn V-Rakete auf elektronischen Analogrechnern
Conference proceedings article No. 29 from the 13th Hermann Oberth Society Rockets and Spaceflight Conference (Darmstadt, June 1964). Dipl.-Ing. D.L. Teuber describes how a high-speed GPS analog computer operating in repetitive mode was used to simulate the Saturn V rocket's dynamic behavior with 12 degrees of freedom, accounting for fuel sloshing and bending oscillations. A key contribution is the statistical analysis of atmospheric wind disturbances as stochastic inputs, using both measured wind data on magnetic tape and noise-generator-based synthetic wind profiles, enabling thousands of solutions to be evaluated in minutes to optimize Saturn V control parameters.
