Abstract
Engineering Weight Control is gaining importance in space package designs because of the weight influence upon the performance characteristics of space vehicles. One phase of this function involves the preparation of periodic Weight Status Reports that are accurate and informative. To satisfy these needs a large volume of data must be processed during development design activity. Normally, this involves an appreciable manpower expenditure in computation effort. The use of an electronic computer can substantially reduce the computation work load. This paper describes an IBM Owego 7090 Weight Program that was designed to perform specific weight calculations and to process input data for publishing a Weight Status Report.
