SNAP RADIOISOTOPE SPACE PROGRAMS. Quarterly Progress Report No. 11, April 1 through June 30, 1962. Task 7
The reduction and analysis of data from two re-entry heating tests on simulated SNAP fuel cores were completed. lmportant points in the analysis are presented. ldentification of one test specimen gives support to the following significant conclusions - the computational techniques used in re-entry analysis are highly accurate and the design theory applied to the design of SNAP flight hardware for burnup is conservative. Preparations for a third fuel core ablation test were concluded. For this test, data collection and reduction methods were improved through changes in the telemetry canister, the fuel-simulating alkali metals, changes in camera filters, and modification and calibration of test equipment.
