DESCRIPTION This facility (completed in 1966) comprises two 54x 72 x 13-ft.
high reinforced concrete, air conditioned, dehumidified bunkers separated by
a 28x 72x 13-ft. high common mechanical equipment area. Both bunkers have
raised floors, suspended ceilings, and latrine facilities. The easterly bunker
will be utilized by Subtasks A905 and A909 for rocket launch control. The west-~erly bunker will be used by Subtasks A108, A109, A201, A202, A203, A6dl,
A602, A603, A604, A606, A613, A6l4, A620, AIO1, A915 and A962 for rocket
payload monitoring.
The bunkers are designed to withstand overpressures of
6 psi on the sides and 3 psi on the roof.
A 500 kva, 4160-480Y/277 volt, 3
phase transformer ''Tl" provides power for scientific facilities and a similar
transformer ''T2" provides power for utility purposes. These two transformers
may be tied together on the secondary side, if required, through a normally
open circuit breaker. An additional transformer on the secondary side provides
120/208 volt, 3 phase power where required. Lighting is RF shielded and provides 75-ft. candles at bench level. Transformer 'T2" also provides 45 kva of
480 volt secondary power to Building 868. The existing electrical system provides 200 amps of 28 volt D.C. power; however, the D.C. distribution panel
and circuitry will not be installed until firm criteria for this power is established.
