Compilation, design tests: Energetic particles Satellite S-3 including design tests for S-3A, S-3B and S-3C

A compilation of engineering design tests which were conducted in support of the Energetic Particle Satellite S-3, S-3A, and S-3b programs. The purpose for conducting the tests was to determine the adequacy and reliability of the Energetic Particles Series of satellites designs. The various tests consisted of: (1) moments of inertia, (2) functional reliability, (3) component and structural integrity, (4) initiators and explosives tests, and (5) acceptance tests.

Mini-Brayton heat source assembly design study. Volume 2: Titan 3C mission

Major conclusions of the space shuttle heat source assembly study are reported that project a minimum weight design for a Titan 3 C synchronous orbit mission; requirements to recover the heat source in orbit are eliminated. This concept permits location of the heat source end enclosure supports and heat source assembly support housing in a low temperature region external to the insulation enclosure and considers titanium and beryllium alloys for these support elements. A high melting insulation blanket consisting of nickel foil coated with zirconia, or of gold foil separated with glass fiber layers, is selected to provide emergency cooling in the range 2000 to 2700 F to prevent the isotope heat source from reaching unsafe temperatures. A graphic view of the baseline heat source assembly is included.

Compendium of meteorological data for the Titan 3C launch in December 1973

All the meteorological data for the 19-hour period before the Titan 3 C (AF-777) launch from Kennedy Space Center at 1857 EST on December 13, 1973, are archived at the Marshall Space Flight Center. These data were collected in support of the NASA rocket exhaust effluent prediction and monitoring program. This data set is unique in that soundings were made with a high temporal resolution. All supporting data, such as synoptic charts and surface data, are also included. This is the first in a series of seven data reports.

Compendium of meteorological data for the Titan 3C (AF-777) launch in May 1975

Meteorological data for the 26-hour period prior to launch are recorded. Data were collected in support of the NASA rocket exhaust effluent prediction and monitoring program. Soundings were made approximately every 2 hours from T-14 hours to T-O; therefore, high temporal resolution is provided. All supporting data, such as synoptic charts and wind tower data, are also included.

The revised 3C catalog of radio sources - A review of optical identifications and spectroscopy

We present a catalog of the important optical data for the radio sources in the Revised Third Cambridge Catalog. Optical positions, redshifts, magnitudes, and identifications have been included, as well as radio flux densities and spectral indices for the sample of 297 extragalactic 3CR sources. A bibliography of optical identifications, spectroscopy, and radio position/structure is also given. In addition to the literature compilation, we present new spectroscopic observations of 27 3CR radio galaxies, 25 of which do not have previously published redshifts.

Experimental measurements of the ground cloud effluents and cloud growth for the May 20, 1975, Titan 3C launch at Air Force Eastern Test Range, Florida

The experiment included surface level and airborne in situ cloud measurements of the exhaust effluents from the Titan IIIC solid rocket boosters. Simultaneous visible spectrum photographic pictures of the ground cloud as well as infrared imaging of the cloud were obtained to study the cloud rise, growth, and direction of travel within the earth's surface mixing layer. The NASA multilayer diffusion model predictions of cloud growth, direction of travel, and expected surface level effluent concentrations were made prior to launch and after launch using measured meteorological conditions. Prelaunch predictions were used to position the effluent monitoring instruments, and the postlaunch predictions were compared with the measured data. Measurement results showed that surface level effluent values were low, often below the detection limits of the instrumentation. The maximum surface level hydrogen chloride concentration measured 50 parts per billion at about 8 km from the launch pad. The maximum observed in-cloud (airborne measurement) hydrogen chloride concentration was 7 per million.

Soft X-ray observations of the supernova remnants HB 3 and 3C 58

The HEAO 1 A-2 low energy detectors have discovered soft X-ray emission from a source positionally coincident with the supernova remnant HB 3. The flux in the energy range 0.3-2.2 keV is about 6 x 10 to the -11th ergs per sq cm s. The spectral data are fitted to a hydrogen thermal bremsstrahlung model, and the physical parameters of the supernova remnant are estimated. The age derived is about 21,000 years, and the initial blast energy is about 3.1 x 10 to the 50th ergs. Upper limits to the soft X-ray flux and the luminosity of the supernova remnant 3 C 58 are also derived.

Far-infrared photometry of compact extragalactic objects - Detection of 3C 345

The first detection of a quasar between 10 and 1000 microns is reported. The observation permits (1) the determination of the intersection of the optical/infrared and millimeter continua; (2) more precise determination of the total luminosity; (3) the placing of limits on the contribution of any thermal dust emission to the total luminosity. The quasar is the first object ever to have been observed whose energy distribution peaks at wavelength of about 100 microns without a large contribution to the total luminosity from thermal dust emission. The observed flux density of 2.2 + or - 0.5 Jy at 100 microns and an upper limit of 0.5 + or - 0.6 Jy at 50 microns clearly define the overall energy distribution and show the quasar to be a powerful far-infrared source.

A new luminosity component in 3C 48

The infrared emission from the quasar 3C48 has a luminosity L approximately 5 x 10 to the 12th power solar luminosity and dominates the power output of the quasar system. It is shown that the infrared emission, unlike that of most radio loud quasars, is most likely not an extension of the radio emission of the quasar. It is argued that the infrared emission in 3C48 is probably thermal radiation arising in a highly luminous galaxy surrounding the quasar.
