Preliminary trajectories for the carriers were calcuiated for aean seasonal wists in order to establish initial orientation of the lauachers and mininice the amount of fisal Launcher adjustaent cequired i5 bours prior to sbot time. The prelimicary trajectories also served co ascertain carrier gross weights and firing times. Since winds predominantly affect the range aod azimuth of the trajectories, gross weights as calculated originally would still Sold after the final ecaputations. Before each of both Teak and Orange shots, final launcher settings (Table 8.2) were dererained froa a G4-hour wind forecast, Theoretical trajectories based on these forecasts are shown for Teak amd Orange (Figs. 8.2 and 8.3). A summary of predicted apczgee positions and sazpling poiats of the diagnostic and sampler rockets are given with respect to zero time (Table 8.3). Actual positicas are given in Yabie 9.1. 8.1.4 Postshoe Sucmary of Performance Of che six Ciagnostic carriers Launched for Teak, all appear to have per- formed oormally and, with the exception of TK-48 and TK-60, all were recovered. Both rad-chem rockets failed in flight, and no cloud sacple was obtained. The exact cause of failure has not been determined; however, it is thought that the second stages became unstable at the end of burning, with associated structural failure of the fins fomediately thereafter. Both sampler noses were re- covered sbort of the intended impact points uniter 30 feet of water. Trajectories of the Teak and Orange diagnostic rockets as determined frou MIDOT records are included in Chapter 9. Although no cloud samles were gathered by the four rad-chem rockets on Orange, all units, including the diagnostic rounds with the exception of Station OR-1152, appear to have followed their intended trajectories. covered were within 2.5 miles of the expected impact points. The units reBecause of the short teleseter time (¢ mimutes) the 115R unit either failed to separate or the parachute failed at deploysent, allowing the unit to sick on ispact. failure would indicate a possible low-apogee altitude.
