SNAP RADIOISOTOPE SPACE PROGRAMS QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT NO. 9, OCTOBER 1 THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 1961
All Phase I and Phase II testing was completed. Both launches of Phase I were successful, neither Phase II launches were successful. Test data recovered on Phase I launchings included optical coverage of re-entry and the trajectory and weather data; no telemetry canister temperature data were obtained. No test data were obtained on Phase II experiments. Reduction of Phase I test data was begun. The Phase II (Sub-subtask 7.3.2) was terminated December 20, 1961, when no test data were recovered for comparison with the analytically predicted results. The Sub-subtask 7.3.3 program (Generator Re-entry Burnup Study) was completed and terminated December 29, 1961. The study objectives were met. The Sub-subtask 7.3.4 program (High Altitude Sampling) was terminated when it was completed November 30, 1961. All study objectives were met. Topical reports were prepared on Sub-subtasks on the work performed in the reporting period that was not included in the topical reports is included. Checkout and troubleshooting operations on the last two subroutines and main radioisotope shielding code were completed. Results from several runs of a simple check problem compared well with published data. (auth)
