TM RESEARCH PROGRAM. HIGH-G TESTS OF COMPONENTS.
Abstract
The report covers one portion of continuing research to determine performance capabilities of various telemetry components and subsystems under high acceleration. Tests were made to obtain data on the behavior of silver and nickel-cadmium cells, gas breakdown diodes, and associated equipment needed in developing more efficient telemetry systems. Data obtained during lead-impact tests indicate that the cells can survive gun-launch accelerations up 60,000 g and operate during an 8-min period after firing. The diodes and a high-frequency power transistor show survival capability without internal potting. The rate of failure of vinyl-covered electrical leads makes their use questionable. Techniques are recommended for making further tests of TM components and subsystems. (Author)
