RESEARCH
LEADERSHIP
pays off for Hercules and B e c k m a n Such important space programs as the APOLLO and Lunar Spacecraft (NASA) the Nova booster (NASA) involve many new and complex problems. Only advanced research can solve them. Hercules Powder Company has employed the Beckman EASE Analog Computer to help the research staff find answers for these problems. The EASE installation has been used to study control systems and trajectory simulations for advanced missile systems. It has also been used to evaluate the Hercules concept of large solid propellant booster motors used in the Apollo and Nova projects, and in basic research on such diverse developments as pentaerythritol, triethyl, aluminum, and ammonia production techniques.
