Flight 85: Released at Alamogordo, New Mexico, 1542 MST, August 17, 1948
Not recovered
The objective of this flight was to carry a standard radiosonde to a
high levelJ there it was to be released on a parachute and, at the moment
of release, the batteries for the transmitter were to be activated. To
accomplish this a pressure-triggered switch was rigged on a .001", 20-foot
polyethylene balloon. Below the baroswitoh a standard T-69 radiosonde was
supported with a parachute stuffed into a case also hanging from the parent
balloon (Figure 3d). Two plugs were set to keep the transmitter circuit

open until the baroswitoh fired the "cannon" which tlevered the supporting line.
Then the circuit plugs v1ere to be pulled 1·rom their stops, and the parachute
was to be pulled from its sock, supporting the radiosonde on its descent.
The railure of this system to act may be attributed to the use o1' a squib
to fire the line-cutter cannon. Subsequent tests at lower levels (where the
squibs work better) were made with a satisfactory release and activation of
~~e "dropsonde."
