Hypervelocity Research Program.
Abstract
The report describes a program aimed at the development of a type of high explosive projector capable of accelerating small particles to velocities high enough to simulate meteoroids. It describes a modified type of shaped charge projector that is capable of producing a small cluster of spherical particles having a total mass of approximately 0.07 grams moving at a velocity of 43,000 feet per second.
