	Karel Bossart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Karel Jan Bossart (born 9 February 1904 in Antwerp - died 3 August 1975, San Diego, Califonia) was a pioneering rocket designer and creator of the Atlas ICBM.
		Bossart's major innovation was the use of a monocoque design in which the structural integrity was maintained by the pressure of the fuel.
		Bossart used this opportunity to advance work with high energy cryogenic fuels that resulted in the Centaur upper stage.

		Karel J. "Charlie" Bossart was involved in the early development of rocket technology with Convair Corporation and is known as the "father of Atlas." Mr.
		Bossart was largely responsible for conceiving in 1946 the design of the propellant tanks, which served as the primary structure for the Atlas launch vehicle.

	[3.0] First Steps To Space
		A Convair engineer named Karel "Charlie" Bossart, who had been born in Belgium and emigrated to the US in the 1920s, was interested in the design of long-range rockets and managed to persuade the management to let him lead a team to work on the Air Force request.
		Bossart managed to talk Convair management into providing a little company funding to carry on the project, and three MX-774s were launched from White Sands in 1948.
		Bossart felt the problems could be resolved, but there was no more money and that was the end of the MX-774.

		The modified Atlas launched the four manned orbital flights in Project Mercury and NASA used it with the Agena or Centaur upper stages for a variety of unmanned space missions.
		Early in 1951 Karel J. Bossart, head of the design team at Convair (Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corporation) that was working on the missile project for the Air Force, decided the project (officially listed as MX-1593) should have a popular name.
		Bossart recalled that Atlas was the mighty god of ancient Greek mythology who supported the world on his powerful shoulders.

	Pourade: City of the Dream
		In 1956 Convair announced it would build a $40,000,000 plant, with a million square feet of space, to produce a ballistic missile named the Atlas, which could carry an atomic warhead and span the oceans in thirty minutes.
		The quiet work of James R. Dempsey, the project manager; William H. Patterson, an aerodynamist, and Karel J. Bossart had produced what was described as the "ultimate weapon." Development of the missile, according to Edgar V. Murphree, special assistant for missiles to Defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson, had moved faster than anticipated.
		The plant was to rise on Kearny Mesa east of Highway 395, on pueblo lands purchased from the City for $782,962.

		By mid-year a team of Convair engineers, headed by Karel J. Bossart, had completed a design for "a sort of Americanized V-2," called "HIROC," or Project MX-774.
		Bossart and associates proposed a technique basically new to American rocketry (although patented by Goddard and tried on some German V-2s) - controlling the rocket by swiveling the engines, using hydraulic actuators responding to commands from the autopilot and gyroscope.
		This technique was the precursor of the gimbaled engine method employed to control the Atlas and other later rockets.

		When first conceived in the 1950s many believed Atlas was a high-risk proposition because to reduce its weight Convair Corp. engineers under the direction of Karel J. Bossart, a pre-World War II immigrant from Belgium, designed the booster with a very thin, internally pressurized fuselage instead of massive struts and a thick metal skin.

	Atlas
		The Atlas ballistic missile began with the US Army Air Corps request for proposal in October 1945, which led to development in the 1950’s of the Atlas, Navaho, Snark, and Matador/Mace missiles.
		By January 10, 1946, Consolidated-Vultee’s engineers, under the leadership of Belgian-born Karel Bossart, submitted their proposals for two 6,000-nautical mile missiles: one subsonic, winged, and jet powered; the other supersonic, ballistic, and rocket powered.
		New technologies proposed for the ballistic missile included extremely low structural weight through use of steel monocoque single-wall construction tanks, kept rigid by internal tank pressure; gimballed rocket engines; detachable payload or warhead section; and nearly single-stage to orbit performance through the ‘stage-and-a-half’ approach of jettisoning the booster engines during the ascent.

		Hopes were high that the rockets would reach an altitude of a hundred miles, but premature engine cutoffs kept them from topping thirty.
		Atlas, according to Bossart’s new studies, would have the capability of being the first intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM)—one that could cross oceans on an accurate path.

		The tanks manufactured by SDO are pressure stabilized, thin steel, monocoque structure with a common intertank bulkhead -- a steel balloon.
		The design was conceived in 1946 during the MX-774 project by Karel J. ‘Charlie’ Bossart, known as the father of the Atlas, and fully implemented in 1955 at the start of the Atlas program.
		With approximately 550 flights and 40 years of operation, the structural design remains basically unchanged.

	Re: Single stage to orbit, Atlas
		The issue for most or all of those was heat resistance, not strength.
		Atlas ascent heating, especially on a depressed trajectory, was too high for aluminum (although it was used in the MX-774 test vehicle that proved the Atlas concept), and Karel Bossart didn't think he could afford the mass for external insulation.
		The aircraft, and I think Navaho as well, were meant to cruise at aerothermal conditions where aluminum has no useful strength.

		In December 1950, the Rand Corp., an influential Air Force think tank, reported that such missiles now stood within reach of technology.
		The Air Force responded by giving a study contract to the firm of Convair in San Diego, where, a few years earlier, the designer Karel Bossart had nurtured thoughts of such missiles.
		Bossart's new design, developed during 1951, called for the use of the Navaho's 120,000-pound-thrust rocket engine.
