Rocket borne chemical payload systems were designed, developed and flight tested to give controlled releases of gases, liquids and solids. Payloads consisted of chemical tanks, chemicals, fluid controls with associated plumbing, event programmer and aerodynamic envelope. Trimethylaluminum, Diborane, Nitric Oxide, High Explosives seeded with metals, Barium/Copper Oxide and Cesium Nitrate/Aluminum/Tungsten systems were provided. Chemical handling techniques were developed and engineering field services were provided to assist with payload launches. (Author)
