2-43 | TEAK Conclusions All equipment used on TEAK operated as designed with the following exceptions: 1. The two Rad-Chem Samplers appeared to suffer structural damage at the time of 2nd stage burning, became unstab: and fell back to the reef near Johnston Island. Many of t parts were recovered by skin diving and the type of failur was deduced, if not the primary cause. 2. The two Viper II-Arrow II beacon carrying rockets fail ed at lst stage burn out and fell back onto the Western half of Johnston Island. this failure, 3. A subsequent test firing verifie The displaced burst point was outside of the beam of the antenna receiving the 4 Kme diagnostic signal and no information was received for this reason. The signal, though weak, was seen at the r eceiving station and oper- ation of this system was verified by the 200 me monitor telemetry. , hk, Two of the instrument carriers, the 50,000 foot and 80,000 foot stations were not recovered. The RF signals indicated the chutes operated satisfactorily, but the long time spent in searching for other nose cones and pods may have allowed these two noses to take on water and sink. The displaced burst caused the stations to be considerably outside of the intended interest areas, but it appears that most of the desired data will be forthcoming from the records and the four recovered noses. The amount of optic: data lost has not been determined at this time. After TEAK Program 32 was asked to participate in the ORANGE shot to a larger extent than was originally design- ed. No attenuation measurements nor instrument carriers were originally scheduled for ORANGE. The measurements actually attempted on ORANGE test are as follows: 1. Four Rad-Chem Samplers. te 2. Three instrument carriers, one at 80,000 feet altitude and 95,000 feet horizontally displgced from the burst; and two at burst altitude, one 40,000 gees North and one ho, ooc feet West of Air Zero. 3.
