LACRCSSE
Project 5.7 - Thermal Flux end Albedo Measurements from Aircraft Capt, R. L. Dresser

The objective of this shot was to obtain thermal flux and albedo
inforzation of a nuclear detonation with airborne calorimeter, radiobars, and sixteen mn, motion picture cameras,

Instruxentation within the purview of Project 5.7 which was

installed in the B-57 included nineteen (19) NRDL calorimeters and two
(2) NRDL vaiioneters for measuring the direct and surface reflected
therval radietion,

These instrucents possessed various flelds of aw fl

rnd were suitably filtered to obtain qualitative spectral distribution

crvation.

.

Six (6) GSAP N.-9 cameras vere ulilized to obtain

olograplie osvo.sge of the firckall, the © .th's suvtece, end of

ssnezth the aircraft.

Two (2) of the cameras oriented towards

.cumd were were equipped with spectroscopic attachments to obtain

2 atinucugs spectra in the visible region,

Of the other two (2) tail

position cameras, one camera had a blue filter and the other had a red
vilter for the purpose of obtaining pictures at both extrexes of the

fon of the spectrum,

The revaining two (2) cem2ras were

ovfented vertically for the purpose of obtaining photegraphie coverage
of the carth's gurface and of eleouds bernesth the aircraft,

Instruzentation installed in the B-66 ecnsisted of the basic

make

twenty-one (21) thermal instruments, and twelve (12) cameras.
