Proposed chnges to this doment shll be submitted to OMSF for review nd coordintion. Chnges, where significnt, will be disssed in System Review Meetings nd subject to finl pprovl by the Mngement Council. Periodic revisions will be mde to the Apollo Flight Mission Assignment doment to reflect pproved chnges nd to depict flight missions s they re better defined. 1

15 GLOSSARY OF TERMS The purpose of this glossry is to exp1in:the terms used in describi1,g lunch vehicle nd spcecrft configurtions nd the ssignment of flight' mi s s ion prior itie s. 1. PRODUCTON (PROD. 1. Production s used for the lunch vehicle is define s n item incorporting the finl design. All systems hve been flight qulified for mnned flight pplictions of the item. R&D instrumenttion hs been removed. Mnufcturing is ccomplished utilizing production techniques. b. Production s used for the spcecrft is defined s n item tht is representtive of the finl design to degree sufficient to strt flight qulifiction of the item. Systems (e. g., crew sfety, bort, re-entry, recovery, etc. ) essentil to the sfety of the stronut re flight qulified prior to the first mnned flight. Other systems re qulified during mnned flights. Extensive design chnges nd refinements my be expected. Mnufcturing is ccompli shed utili zing production technique s. rc PROTOTYPE (PROTO. ) is defined s n item representtive of the finl design, but possibly requiring design chnges nd refinements., %sterns re operting to the extent nd degree necessry to flight 'lify the item for mnned flight pplictions. DEVELOPMENTAL (DEV. ) is defined s n item similr in chrcteristics nd performnce, but not necessrily representtive of the finl design. Systems re functioning only to the extent necessry to ccomplish prtilr flight mission objective. Certin systems my be essentilly inert, but instrumented for obtining flight dt necessry for defining the finl design while other systems my be crried s pssengers for the purpose of evluting flight performnce prior to ctivting, or closing the loop for, the system. PRORTY OF MSSON OBJECTVES - The purpose of the terms, primry (P) nd secondry (S), s used in defining priorities of mission objectives, is to provide guide for depicting the re where mjor considertion will be given in defining flight mission ssignments, flight profiles, propellnt loding, instrumenttion, etc. The mission priority does not necessrily infer tht the primry missions re over-riding the secondry missions, but rther tht they re given principle considertion in integrting nd implementing the mission objectives. &, 1
