High-Speed Photographic Investigation of Gun-Launched Projectiles

John O. Clayton, Isaac Shanfield

The Space Research Institute of McGill University is engaged in two major projects, the gun-launching of vehicles to carry out scientific studies of the upper atmosphere, and the design of a protection system to minimize the chances of the failure of a space vehicle due to meteoroid impact. This paper describes the high-speed photographic equipment, including smear, framing, image converter and x-ray cameras, and their applications to our projects.
