Note 1.
The A3D-1 aircraft started a turn prior
to shock arrival and therefore was not
exactly tail-on at this time.
DISCUSSION
The ASB-1/CP-66 positioning worked very nicely and the A3D-1 aircraft was in its correct position based on real time at time of release,
Errors in the count-down combined with missing certain time—counts made
time correlation very difficult.
Improvements in the system for the es~
tablishment of time zero position have been developed, but the ASB-1/CP-66
system will not give the desired accuracy in after-the-fact positioning
required for data correlation,
It was planned to utilize Raydist for positioning and tracking the

distance from intended GZ at T, was 38,000 ft.

(This position is based
on the readings taken from the°ASB-1/CP-66 system at entry into the abor'
turn and shortly after time zero, correlated with calculations of the ab
flight path made from the known ¢haracteristics of the aircraft).
