Production Engineering Measure for Manufacture of Meteorological Balloons Type ML-566 (XE3)/AM.
Abstract
The program progressed in the fourth quarter in the following sections: An evaluation of natural latex balloon components made with a compound having high storage stability, showed erratic flight performance. Work was conducted in the problem area relating to effect of cure on wall thickness. Work in the problem area relating to retalcing of balloons was successful in eliminating 'stuck spots'. A design and drawings were completed of production equipment for retalcing components for the ML-566(XE3)/AM balloon. Thirty first articles were fabricated and delivered to designated destinations. Tests were conducted on first article samples and a first article test report was submitted.
