Agency: Palmer Physics Laboratory, Princeton University
    Time: 1100 MST
    Altitude: 4.0 miles

UPPER AIR INSTRUMENTS

    Cosmic radiation: Geiger counter telescope to measure total cosmic ray intensity
        Two neutron counters
        Shielded ionization chamber
    Ionosphere: Propagation transmitters, low frequency system on ground and high
        frequency transceiver in rocket.

DATA RECOVERY INSTRUMENTS

    Telemeter: PXTA-501, 23 channel NRL PPM/AM pulse sequential system
        Four channel Lark FM-FM system
    Airborne recorder: Brass tape recorder
    Physical recovery: Nose separation with TNT and primacord.

BALLISTIC INSTRUMENTS

    Firing Range
        Theodolites: Two Mitchell and six Askania stations
        Cameras: Three Bowen-Knapp stations
        Telescopes: One station
        Radar: Two modified SCR-584 S-band stations
        Doppler: Four stations.
        Impact location: None.

    Airborne
        Beacon: S-Band transponder
        Doppler: DOVAP transceiver
        Radio Cutoff: AN/ARW-17. FM control receiver for command fuel cutoff.

ROCKET PERFORMANCE

    Time to burnout: 18.5 sec., radio cutoff
    Altitude to zenith: 4.0 miles
    Comments: Steering control failed shortly after takeoff and rocket began a large deviation
        from range center. One fin was torn off about the time of fuel cutoff. Unburned pro-
        pellants exploded at impact.

EXPERIMENTAL DATA

    Comments: No data obtained.
