Project 5.7 - Therma) Flux and Albedo Messurements from Alroraft Capt R. L. Dresser
The objective of Project 5.7 participation on this shot was to vbtain
thermal flux and albedo information of a nuclear detonation vith airborne
calorineters, radiometers, and sixteen millimeter motion picture caseras.
