APOLLO Update Recalling his memories of the Apollo mission (LSU Alumni Magazine Winter 2019 and Spring 2020), Harvey Schwartzberg (1949 BACH ENGR), of Baton Rouge, shares this note: After earning my bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from LSU, I enrolled at the University of Illinois and earned a master’s degree in the same field in 1950. Following a brief period with the General Electric Co. in Schenectady, N.Y., I was called to active duty in the U.S. Air Force. Upon separation, I worked for General Dynamics in Fort Worth, Texas, and then Trans-Sonics of Burlington, Mass., for which I opened an office in New Orleans in 1963 to deal with NASA and the Michoud facility during the development of the S1 Booster. I was successful in obtaining the contract for design, development, and production from the Boeing Company for the Fuel (RP-1) and Oxidizer (LOX) gauging systems. Working with the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, I positioned Trans-Sonics to obtain the award of the Fuel (Aerozene50) and Oxidizer (Nitrogen Tetroxide) gauging systems for the Lunar Module from the Grumman Company. On final descent to the lunar surface, the three measurements continuously relayed to Mission Control by astronaut Neil Armstrong were breathing oxygen, height above the surface, and remaining fuel, for they had to have sufficient fuel to lift off the moon and hook up with the orbiting command module to return to Earth.
EDITOR’S NOTE: The Spring 2019 issue referred to a “95-year milestone” for the magazine. That was incorrect. Indeed, the magazine traces its ancestry 117 years back, to The Alumnus, first published in 1903, two years before the Society of Alumni of the Louisiana State University was chartered in 1905. Through the years, today’s LSU Alumni Magazine has been published as The Alumnus, LSU Alumni News, and LSU Magazine. The magazine regrets the error.
