Underground Data Acquisition and Telemetry System

Abstract

Three DEVELCO Underground Telemetry Systems were installed as part of the DNA Mighty Epic Nuclear Test Event interface experiment on 12 May 1976. These systems were designed to withstand strong shock and high pressures in order to acquire, store, and later telemeter multiple channels of ground motion data from high stress regions at depths greater than 1500 feet without relying on signal cables through the interface zone. In addition to recording significant new data, the Mighty Epic operation demonstrated that data storage and retrieval can be successfully accomplished under severe environmental conditions.
