ATMOSPHERIC TRANSPORT OF ROCKET MOTOR COMBUSTION BY-PRODUCTS. VOLUME II. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN AND FIELD INSTALLATION.
Abstract
Volume II describes the design and equipment installation for the field program. In preparation for static firing tests, an elaborate installation was completed on San Nicolas Island to provide measurements of particle size, fallout, surface contamination, dimensions and concentration of the rocket motor exhaust clouds. For the tracer studies of long-range diffusion, an airplane equipped with a drum-impactor sampler and recorfing temperature and flight instruments was used for measurements. Land-based radar was used for position determination. To assist in locating the tracer plume, constant level balloons (tetroons) were released with the tracer plume and tracked by radar. (Author)
