Project Pre-Gondola I. Technical Director's Summary Report.

Abstract

The report presents the concepts, technical programs, objectives, and summarized results of Project Pre-Gondola I, a series of four 20-ton high explosive cratering experiments conducted during October-November 1966, near Fort Peck, Montana. The experiments established the cratering characteristics of the weak, wet, clay-shale (Bearpaw) preparatory to row-charge cratering experiments. The site medium, project layout, construction, field operations, and explosive charge design and emplacement are described. (Author)
