through February of 1960 after which the unit maybe dissolved and personnel

absorbed by PACAF for the remainder of their overseas tour.

The effort on WS-117L has been assigned highest national priority

and carries a DX rating of .011 Brick-Bat, and precedence rating of I-1. The

nickname of "Hot Hand" carrying a precedence and priority rating of I-1 has

been assigned to the prograa of activating, training, equipping, and operation

of the 6593d Squadron.

Edwards AFB and Hickam APB will provide logistic support, including administrative support, for the unit while it is stationed at those bases.

Administrative control will be retained by AFBMD. AFBMD will insure that

adequate tenancy agreements with other Commands are provided. See also Annex

B--Administration and Annex E,—Logistics.

5. COMMAND AND SIGNAL: 

All Task Organizations and Friendly Forces assisting in this

Order are authorized direct communication with each other in pursuit of this

operation.

The Air Force Ballistic Missile Division (AMC) through the

Field Office, Palo Alto, will exercise operational control of all attached

units during the development, test and recovery phases, as required.

CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS

1. RECOVERY TEST PRASE: 

a. A recovery test program has been established because of a need for the

development and/or refinement of equipment and techniques necessary to locate

and recover the descending capsule. The majority, if not all of this test program will take place while the C-119 unit is stationed at Edwards An before

deployment to Hickok AFB, T.H. The test program consists of seven parts:

C-119 Beacon Receiver Installation.

(a) To select an optimum receiver and antenna installation compatible with the capsule borne beacon.

Chaff Target Characteristics Evaluation. 

(a) To determine optimum chaff target characteristics as detected.

by the airborne APS-20 radar. A drop aircraft will be utilized in conjunction

with an RC-121 for dropping chaff from above 40,000 feet.

Air Target Characteristics Evaluation. 

(a) To determine over ocean areas optimum air target characteristics

of a dummy vehicle with silvered chute and chaff ejector. Results will be

recorded by repeater scope cameras.

Water Target Characteristics. 

(a) To determine optimum water target characteristics by use of

beacon and Rescue-lite in the event of water impact.

(5) Vectoring, and Air Pickup Techniques. 

(a) To evaluate the deployment and operational aspects in a full

scale recovery effort using dummy vehicles dropped from B-52 or similar aircraft.

firillirav ti to a I I I I I III I 1 I P 111

Actual Vehicle Air Pickup

(a) To evaluate chute deployment air pickup,'handling loads and

problems relating to final securing of the capsule in the recovery aircraft.

This will be accomplished over Edwards AFB range.

Actual Vehicle Water Pickup

(a) To determine water impact loads and effect of parachute

collapse on the vehicle and antenna. Water recovery will be accomplished by a

surface craft from Pacific Missile Range.

2. OPERATICUAL RECOVERY PRAM 

Orbital Vehicle Re-entry. An attitude re-orientation and retro rocket

firing command to effect re-entry will be given by one of the Alaskan Tracking

and Acquisition Stations. The command will be given after the sixteenth orbit

when the vehicle is on a north to south pass. This will permit recovery in the

area of the Hawaiian Islands. A. more precise area of 225 miles long and 50

miles wide can be obtained after approximately twelve hours of vehicle orbital

life. At this time the order will be given as to when and where the recovery

force will be on station. On station time will be preceded by a weather reconnaissance flight. Upon re-entry, the capsule will use drag to slow down so

that it will be at about Mich #1 in free fall at 50,000 feet. Ablation material

sill be used to dissipate heat during this period. At the beginning of re-entry

the capsule will weigh about 197 pounds. Burn off and ablation nose ejection

will reduce this weight to about 60 pounds at time of recovery.

Capsule Acquisition. At 50,000 feet a parachute will open which will

slow the speed of the capsule to 25 feet per second by the time it has reached

10,000 feet. Shortly after parachute opening, chaff will be ejected from the

capsule, which, along with the silvered chute, will permit identification and

tracking by radar. RC-121 aircraft on station in the 225 by 50 mile area,

equipped with APS-20 search radars will transmit position information to one or

more of five C-119 recovery aircraft and vector them into position. At approximately 30 miles range, a pulsed VHF beacon in the capsule will be picked up by

both RC-121 and C-119 aircraft for final positioning. Further back-up for

AFBMD (HEDARDC)

ANNEX A to OPERATIONS ORDER NO. 3-58

8 wrec656-27

fig.1 111111111111110
acquisition will be provided by a Rescue-lite in the capsule. This rill also

aid in surface vessel pickup if aerial recovery is not effected.

c. Capsule Recovery. An estimated time oflBminutes for the capsule to

descend from 50,000 to 10,000 feet will provide time for one of the five 0-119

aircraft each stationed in a 50 by 45 mile sector of the impact area to effect

recovery from 10,000 feet. At this altitude the 0-119 can make 5 to 6 recovery

attempts ate speed of 110 knots. This is based on a descent rate of 25 feet

per second or 1,500 feet per minute. Recovery is effected by snatching the

parachute an one of several hooks attached to two 20 foot booms extending dawn

and out from the C-119 tall doors. After snatch the capsule is pulled into the

aircraft by use of a high speed winch. Four boom operators and a winch operator

comprise a minimum pickup crew.

GENERAL: 

The 6593d Test Squadron (Special) will be equipped with

only those items of maintenance equipment necessary to augment

present assets at Edwards Air Force Base and/or Hickam Air Force

Base. The maintenance equipment on the UAL was selected by Edwards

and Hickam maintenance personnel by comparing base assets with

requirements listed in applicable ECL for C-119 aircraft. This

concept eliminated the expense of duplicating assets at Edwards

Air Force Base and Hickam. Air Force Base, realizing the 6593d Test

Squadron could not operate independtly, This concept will be

incorporated by AFBMD in the logistical agreements with Edwards

Air Force Base and Hickam Air Force Base.

All units of the task organization will use the WS-117L

priority in obtaining logistical support that is directly related

to this program.

3. Logistic problems affecting the mission of any task organization will be referred to AFBMD, ATTN: WDSM, through the Palo Alto

Field Office.
