either in being or rapidly nearing completion. Fiscal year 1965 construction of facilities funds will mainly be used for test and operational facilities, which will be described in detail shortly.

Administrative operations.-The administrative operations line in the budget provides for operation of the manned space flight centers. It includes salaries of civil service personnel, supplies and materials, equipment, and other services. The fiscal year 1965 requirement of $304.6 million for administrative operations compares with a fiscal year 1964 estimate of $229.3 million. The increase can be attributed to the salary increase for civil service personnel effective January 5, 1964; the decision to buy electronic data processing equipment now in use, or planned, in lieu of continuing to lease; and the augmentation of the personnel complement mentioned earlier.

Research and development.-Now I would like to review in detail the GEMINI and APOLLO research and development funding requirements for fiscal year 1965. GEMINI funding requirements for spacecraft, launch vehicles, and support are shown here (fig. 292). We will require $168.9 million for spacecraft,

$111.3 million for the launch vehicles, and $28.2 million for supporting activities. The total research and development cost for GEMINI in fiscal year 1965 is $308.4 million.

Now let us break down the launch vehicle funding (fig. 293). The GEMINI launch vehicle, a modified TITAN II, will require $66.9 million. The ATLAS target vehicle booster will require $19.5 million and the AGENA target vehicle $24.9 million. The total for GEMINI launch vehicles is $111.3 million.

Now I would like to list the hardware that the fiscal year 1965 funds will provide for the GEMINI program (fig. 294). We will pay for the completion and delivery of six GEMINI spacecraft. We will initiate the production of four additional spacecraft, and final payment will be made on four TITAN launch vehicles, which will be delivered in fiscal year 1965. One ATLAS target launch vehicle will be delivered, and production of four others will begin. One AGENA target vehicle will be delivered and four will go into production with fiscal year 1965 funds, and we will provide support equipment for the GEMINI program. In the APOLLO program, as mentioned previously, we require $2,677.5 million for fiscal year 1965. Now let us break this down into its component elements. First, we will look at the spacecraft research and development (fig. 295).

APOLLO R&D SPACECRAFT DEVELOPMENT

FY 65 FUND REQUIREMENTS
(IN MILLIONS)

For the command module and the service module we will require $520.5 million. The lunar excursion module development will need $189.9 million; guidance and navigation, $83.8 million; instrumentation and scientific equipment, $7.5 million; and spacecraft support, $144.1 million. This totals $945.8 million for APOLLO spacecraft development, compared with $901.9 million in the current fiscal year, including the requested supplemental appropriation.

The total engine research and development cost is estimated at $153.4 million for fiscal year 1965, very close to the 1964 level of $150 million (fig. 296). The H-1 engine will require $9.8 million; the RL-10 engine, $17.9 million; the F-1 engine, which is used on the first stage of the SATURN V vehicle, $64.1 million; and the J-2 engine, a multipurpose engine used on upper stages of both the SATURN IB and SATURN V, $61.6 million.

SATURN I development costs in fiscal year 1965 are broken down into four elements (fig. 297). The S-1 stage will require $20.6 million; the S-IV stage, $55.4 million; vehicle instrument units, $3.6 million; and ground support equipment, $3.7 million. The vehicle support costs are estimated at $37.3 million, for a total research and development cost for SATURN I of $120.6 million, down sharply from $204.2 million in 1964.

The SATURN IB requirements for fiscal year 1965 research and development funds are shown here (fig. 298). The S-IB stage, the first stage of SATURN IB, will require $79.1 million. The S-IVB stage, the second stage of the SATURN IB, will call for $57 million. A total of $28.4 million is needed for the vehicle instrument units, and $31.5 million for ground support equipment.

The procurement costs for flight test engines are $12.4 million for the H-1 and $11 million for the J-2. Vehicle support, an integral part of the program, calls for $40.7 million. The total research and development requirement for SATURN IB in fiscal year 1965 is $260.1 million, a rise of about $110 million over the current year.

The SATURN V, the launch vehicle being developed for manned lunar exploration, requires fiscal year 1965 funds as shown here (fig. 299). The 7.5-millionpound-thrust S-IC stage will require $271.6 million; the S-II stage, $189.9 million; the S-IVB stage, $126.8 million. The sum of $78.1 million will re required for the vehicle instrument units and $70.1 million for the ground support equin ment necessary for test, checkout, and launch.

APOLLO R&D - ENGINE DEVELOPMENT
FY 65 FUND REQUIREMENTS

For flight vehicles, the F-1 engine procurement, for the S-IC stage, will require $67.4 million; and the J-2 engine procurement, for the S-II and S-IVB stages, $45.3 million. Vehicle support totals $139.2 million. The total research and development effort of the SATURN V for fiscal year 1965 is $988.4 million, compared with $799.6 in fiscal year 1964, including the requested supplemental appropriation.

APOLLO support cost for fiscal year 1965 (fig. 300) is broken down into systems engineering, which will require $46 million; launch operations and instrumentation, $51.3 million; mission control systems, $41.4 million; APOLLO space operations, $21.6 million; and supporting technology, $48.9 million. APOLLO support fund requirements total $209.2 million, a rise of about $30 million over 1964.

Now I would like to show some of the things we will buy in fiscal year 1965 with this money. In the APOLLO program (fig. 301), we will complete the fabrication and deliver six flight configured spacecraft for ground test, and the last three developmental spacecraft. We will complete 4 production spacecraft for flight test, and the fabrication of 12 production spacecraft will be underway. Three lunar excursion modules will be completed and delivered for ground test, and we will complete eight LITTLE JOE II launch vehicles. We expect to launch the SA-7, 9, and 8 vehicles of SATURN I. (The numbers are out of order because the first stage of the SA-8 vehicle is the first manufactured by Chrysler at the Michoud Plant.)

APOLLO R&D - SATURN I DEVELOPMENT
FY 65 FUND REQUIREMENTS

We will complete the first SATURN IB launch vehicle, and initiate fabrication of five more SATURN IB's. We will fabricate SATURN V ground test and flight stages and deliver the first F-1 and J-2 flight engines. These charts represent only the major hardware that will be delivered with fiscal year 1965 funds. Now let us turn to advanced manned missions (fig. 302). The total of $26 million for fiscal year 1965 represents the level of effort required to obtain information needed to reach decisions at the time planned.

The earth orbital effort, amounting to $7.9 million, will place emphasis on requirements, definition of approach to be taken, specification preparation, and preliminary design plans for the various orbital research laboratory subsystems and configurations. This will permit a detailed appraisal of program requirements beyond the approved Air Force effort and will provide a sound basis for a hardware development program decision if required in the future.

In fiscal year 1965, the lunar study activity will include continued investigation of systems to support lunar exploration missions following the initial APOLLO landings. Funds requested amount to $8.7 million. The systems being investigated include: (1) the APOLLO logistic support system (ALSS), for use in the period immediately following the initial lunar landings; and (2) the lunar exploration system for APOLLO (LESA), which in its growth capability could provide for extended lunar exploration.

The fiscal year 1965 effort pertaining to manned planetary missions will be concerned primarily with analyses of technical feasibility. This requires $2.1 million. Studies will concentrate on factors such as scope, objective, frequency, schedules, and cost prior to selection of the most promising mission profiles for detailed engineering analysis in subsequent years.

The launch vehicle study programs will continue at approximately the same level, $6.1 million. The effort will involve the continued investigation of launch vehicle requirements to support future manned space missions.
