Project 5.7 - Thermal Flux and Albedo Measurements from Aircraft Cart RR, L. Dresecr
OR ITATIVeS
The objective of Project 5.7 participation on this shot was to
obtain thermal flux and albedo information of a nuclear detonation
with airborne calorimeters, radiometers, and sixteen millimeter motion
picture cameras.
INSTRUMTNTAT TION
Instrumentation withir
the purview of Project 5.7 which was in-
stalled? in the B-47 intluted ninctecn N@DL calorimeters and two NADL
radiemcters for measuring the direst and surface reflected thermal
ratiation,
Six ecslorimeters were utilized to measure thermal radiation
which was back-scattered toward the cackpit,
Seven GSAP N-9 cameras
were utilized to cbhtain photograrhic coverage cf the fireball, the
earth's surface, ani of clouds beneath the aircraft, and also of any
reflecting surface such as a cloud which could contribute to the backecattere? ratzistion.
Poogeet €,7 instrumniztion on the B-52 included the mste 21 instruments for thermal radiation measurements, but only an additional two
instruments were utilizei for back-scatter measurements,
Eight GSAP
cameras were installed for photocraphic coverage.
Project 5.7 instrumentation on the B-57 consisted of the basic
twenty one instruments and six cameras,
Profect 5.7 instrumentation on the B-66 consisted of the basic
twenty one instruments and twelve cameras.
Neither tactical bomber (8-44, B-57) was instrumented for measuring
