An experiment has been proposed, using a chemical release payload containing Ni(CO)[sub 4] and CF[sub 3]Br. The NICARE payload, designed for flight on a NASA Terrier-Black Brant vehicle, consists of aluminium tanks for containing 65 pounds each of the carbonyl and CF[sub 3]Br. Both materials are discharged through explosive valves. This report presents payload schematics, physical constants, chemical reactivity, and toxicity information. Environmental assessment and payload loading procedures are also included.
