HIGH-ALTITUDE SAMPLING TECHNIQUES. Final Report for February 1, 1957 to July 31, 1959

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4112439
A balloon-borne air collector unit was developed and operated to collect samples of stratospheric air for radiation analysis. A 19-lb air sample was obtained by liquefying the air at altitudes of 50,000 and 60,000 ft in a liquidnitrogen-cooled heat exchanger. The construction and operation of the air- collector unit and the performance of five stratospheric balloon flights are presented. Equipment designed to recover stratospheric moisture and carbon dioxide from an air sample is described. (auth)
