High Altitude Smoke Program (HASP).

Abstract

Two (2) dispensers for high altitude (>85,000 ft.) release of smoke puffs were designed, developed and flight tested in support of Air Force Geophysics Lab stratospheric turbulence studies. Each self-contained dispenser provided environmental protection and sequentially ejected six (6) smoke puff canisters containing equal weights of TiCl4 and a 50/50 Water-Methanol mixture. Canisters were functioned 100 feet below the balloon platform via a tethered lanyard. (Author)
