Mass Driver Two combines for the first time all the essential features of an operational mass driver, with the exception of bucket recirculation and payload handling. Its nominal design acceleration is 500 m/s2, for a final velocity of 112 m/s. That velocity is to be obtained through a 1.25 m acceleration section of 59 drive coils, each of 13.1 cm caliber and 2.46 cm separation. It is followed by a decelerator section of identical design, to bring the bucket to rest with the return of energy to the power supply. Construction of Mass Driver Two (as well as portions of its extension for higher velocities) began in the spring of 1978. The accelerator section is now essentially complete. Testing began in July, 1979, with an ohmic bucket to simulate the superconducting bucket.
