Optical Measurements of LASL Operation Avefria Barium Shaped Charge Release Phenomenology.

Abstract

Photographic measurements of the two shaped charge barium releases in the upper atmosphere were made by Technology International Corporation in May 1978 near Tonapah, Nevada. Extensive black and white and color film records were obtained of the detonation geometry and barium ion cloud structure. This report contains a technical pictorial history of each event, measurements of the detonation motion velocities, and a radiometric time history for the second event. (Author)
