PAYLOAD FOR ALARR
Abstract
A development program was undertaken to provide an air sampling payload for the Air-Launched, Air-Recoverable Rocket (ALARR) vehicle. The purpose of the payload was to collect samples of particulate radioactive debris from the atmosphere. The payload was to be capable of operating in narrow altitude bands between 70,000 and 150,000 feet, be capable of filtering the largest volume of air possible through IPC 1478 filter paper, and be compatible with the ALARR vehicle. Development included design, fabrication, ground testing (including environmental, functional, and flow calibration testing), and flight testing. This report contains the description of the payload, the design analysis, and the results of the ground testing.
