Armco Steel and Aeronca Shape Apollo Capsule Panels
Armco Steel researchers developed a high heat resistant stainless for the Apollo capsule wall panels used in a honeycomb steel sandwich with Aeronca layers. Aeronca brazed the sheets to a honeycomb core for the 30 capsule panels sent to North American Rockwell near Los Angeles. The panels, one-half inch thick walls and two inches at the heat shield end, support a moon mission with Saturn 1B boosters, despite potential flight risks.
