BALLISTIC DATA

    Theodolites: Askania and Mitchell tracked rocket and "Blossom" to impact
    Cameras: Satisfactory operations
    Telescopes: Satisfactory operations
    Radar: Complete flight record
    Doppler: Readable signals at two stations
    Vibration: Instrument section yaw and pitch plane vibrations (40 cps max.)
        negligible magnitude
    Other: Rocket velocity measured to reasonable order of accuracy with precessing
        gyro

DATA RECOVERY

    Telemeter: Crosstalk between three channels, satisfactory otherwise
    Physical recovery: Heliographs, "Blossom" parachute, and canister recovered.
        Pilot parachute not recovered.

EXPERIMENTAL DATA

    Low altitude flight prevented any experimental data recovery

COMMENTS

    Rocket modifications: "Blossom" ejector mechanism
    Rocket performance: Early burnout due to low pressure air failure probably caused
        by regulator malfunction
    Experiments: talcum generator produced satisfactory "smoke" trails at low altitude
    Other: Blossom ejection satisfactory at low altitudes
