PROCUREMENT

To be accomplished.

CONSTRUCTION Space has been reserved west of the Sandia AME Field for

three 8 x 26-ft. atmospheric science lab, White Sands Missile Range (WSMR)
furnished trailers.

As an integral part, one trailer will have an M-33 radar

mounted on top, one will have an AN/GMD-1 telemetry tracking mounted on top
and the third will have an AN/GMD-2Z telemetry orientation point. The trailers
will be used to track and record data from meteorological rockets.
The three trailers, oriented in a true north-south direction, must remain level
during operations; therefore, two 8 x 45-ft. concrete pads will be constructed
to support jacks required for leveling the trailers. Second order survey accuracy will be required to level and align the trailers.
One 18 pair #19 gauge cable will be required from the trailer site to Building

881.

This cable is included in the DASA Signal Cable Plan, (F&S No. 04019).

Power to each trailer will be approximately 20 kw of 120/208 volt, 60 cycle, 3

phase. A 60 amp fuzed disconnect switch will be provided for power to each
trailer. A 400 amp disconnect switch will be installed to provide power for a

WSMRfurnished 30 kw, 208/416 volt, 60-400 cycle, 3 phase converter.

A 6-

ft. square concrete pad will be constructed to support the converter. Power
cables from the disconnect switches to the trailers and the converter will be
furnished by WSMR.
