TECHNICAL PHOTOGRAPHY (Operation IVY)

Abstract

The following photographic activities on Operation Ivy were carried out: (1) Determine fireball yield from high-speed cameras and Rapatronics. (2) Record cloud-rise and -drift phenomena. (3) Determine luminous emittance of the fireball. (4) Determine time to the minimum by means of Bhangmeters. (5) determine position of burst for King shot. (6) Record mortar and gun bursts for J-10. (+7) Record water wave from Mike shot. (8) Record smoke rocket trails on King shot. (9) Record the television monitor screen on Mike shot from M-1 hr to zero time. (10) In addition, an experimental GMX-9 camera, an experimental Telescopic Rapatronic camera, and an image-converter camera.
