In this paper we describe principle Hugoniot measurements of liquid D{sub 2} up to P = 2.1 Mbar. We compressed liquid D{sub 2} with a Nova-laser-driven shock wave launched from an aluminum pusher. The Al/D{sub 2} interface and the shock front in the D{sub 2} are observed with temporally resolved radiography, to determine particle speed U{sub p}, shock speed U{sub s}, and the ratio of final density to initial density {rho}/{rho}{sub 0}. The pressure is calculated. These absolute EOS data reveal a compressibility comparable to the dissociation model.
