Hi All,
I am a new member of this forum, and have joined really to try and find the answer to a question that has been nagging at me for close on 35 years.
Can anybody tell me what the purpose of the roll program, initiatred at approx 12 to 13 seconds after liftoff of any of the saturn launches. It cannot simply be so that the crew can see the horizon once the escape tower had jetisoned because surley they could have just placed the launch vehicle on the pad differently and make the launch sequence simpler by not needing a roll program.
Hope this does not sound too daft a question
