Gill Subject : Experiments Debfiefing of Gemini IX held in Bldg . 4, MSC at 8:30 A.M. June 16,1966 . Gemini IX ' s performance on the 0SSA experiments was impressive . The guiding performed for S011 and S001 was the best that has yet been done on a manned spacecraft . In all 40 usu.able pictures of the airglow were made with the 2- filter (split field) arrangement attached to the wide angle Maurer lens ( NRL' s experiment) . 8ee1 : was done inside the capsule since it was not possible to attempt it during the EVA . THey got pictures of the zodiacal light and the Milky Way and the guiding was good even for the 30 sec sweeps . On Tri-X these are the best pictures yet of the zodiacal light surpassing the results achieved on Gemini V. S011; About 40 usable pictures of the airglow were obtained. THese contain some of the same star fields pictured in S00l. Guiding was very good even though Cern results achieved on Gemini V. S011; About 40 usable pictures of the airglow were obtained. THese contain some of the same star fields pictured in S00l. Guiding was very good even though Cernan had to do the experiment from a very awkward position . S012 : Hemenway showed several pictures which were enlargements (up to 35 , 000 exposed times) . Only a small portion aJf the/ surface has been a.na.lyzed, but on this portio portion 9 impacts are recorded . Hemenway is investigating possible "contamination between experiments before sending the individual sections to guest investigators . On the biological experiments where the results come ou:b faster (a) 3 swabs taken inside the s/c re- flight were dirty ; post-flight these same areas were sterile . ( b ) the T-4 bacteriophages and t he penicilliumspeciroens 2 . survived the spaceflight; two other sp eciment. The 30-day report on this experiment will contain more results, but the full micrometoerite analysis will take some time. S-5 and S-6: These experiments were not officially carried, but nonetheless it was done as "operational procedure." In all some 300 color pictures were taken with the Hasselblad and Maurer cameras both of which were carried (for the first time. The Maurer is eventually planned to replace the Hasselblad "operational procedure." In all some 300 color pictures were taken with the Hasselblad and Maurer cameras both of which were carried (for the first time. The Maurer is eventually planned to replace the Hasselblad, but this has been slow in evolution.) A strip was taken over Peru where the weather happened to excellent. Features show up in these pictures which do not appear on any existing map; for example, a glacial lake in the Ange~ which do not appear on any existing maps. The Peruvian Embassy has been informed of this lake which may portend an avalanche hazard for villagesilocated below, The Peruvians have sent a military p-l,ane into the area to investigate . THis indicates the possible current use of such pictorial information . THe AMU exercise was unsuccessful. It proved to be too Im.lCh "work" under the present arrangements. It takes two hands just to control the body peeitionang . Hand-held photography during EVA for experiments looks "out of the question" at pres ent. J oc elyn R.

George Mueller . The substantial help that both of you and your associates in NASA have given us is much appreciated. The proposal to include two high- altitude orbits in the flight plan for Gemini mission XI has been carefully examined by physicists at MSC Houston, as well as by our joint NRL- Goddard group . At a meeting in my office yester­ day with officials from NASA Headquarters and from MSC , Houston, we agreed that the S- 9 experiment would not be hurt if the flight plan included t wo elliptic orbits bavine an altitude of 75 0 nautical miles at apogee (approxi ­ mately over Australia ) during the 26th and 27th orbits . Our emulsion stack apparatus would be retrieved from the retroadapter se ction during the first EVA , and stored inside the Gemini capsule in a manner suggested by Messrs . Joseph Lill and Peter Higgins of MSC, with an orientation that would minimize the effect s of background radiation incident on the window face of the package . In short, we Gemini capsule in a manner suggested by Messrs . Joseph Lill and Peter Higgins of MSC, with an orientation that would minimize the effect s of background radiation incident on the window face of the package . In short, we believe that the proposed high- altitude orbits are compatible with the S- 9 experiment . May I digress t o say that we in the NRL group are looking forward to favorable consideration by the Manned Space Flight Experiments Board of our recent Apollo proposals for cosmic- ray studi es outside the magnetosphere , and for observations of cosmic y- rays in earth- orbiting Apollo vehicles . With warm regards , Sincerely, J.><urice 1:!3h ief Scientist Laboratory for Cosmic Ray Physics Principal Investigator, s- 9) P . S.

June 10, 1966 USRL Joins RL Chair of Cosmic Ray Physics Established Effective July 1 the Navy Underwater Sound Ref­ erence Laboratory (USRL) in Or land o, Florida, will be disestablished and become a di v i s i o n of NRL. It will be designated as the Underwater Sound Reference Division (USRD) . As a division of NRL, USRD, in its program of standards and instrumen­ tation development for imderwater sound measure­ ment, will be re-enforced by the spec i a 1 i zed capabilities of related elements of the NRL research staff. The f i n an c i a 1, management, and support services requirements will be backed up by the service organizations of NRL. The new division will continue under the imme ­ diate supervision of the Chief Scientist, Mr. O. M. Ows ley. Mr. Owsley will report directly to Capt T. B. Owen, Director of NRL, for the management of the operations and the effective prosecution of the program supervision of the Chief Scientist, Mr. O. M. Ows ley. Mr. Owsley will report directly to Capt T. B. Owen, Director of NRL, for the management of the operations and the effective prosecution of the program. He will be guided as appropriate and in their resp ective areas, by NRL's Director of Research, Director of Support S e r vi c e s, and Comptroller. continued - page 2 NRL Signs Labor Contract for Guard Unit The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory and Colum­ bia Lodge No. 174 of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers have nego­ tiated a comprehensive agreement covering all non­ supervisory security guards in the Laboratory's Security and Administrative Services Division. Following a grant of exclusive recognition to the Union on January 19, 1966, negotiations began on March 31, 1966, and were concluded on May 26. The Laboratory's negotiating team was beaded by Capt J. C. Matheson, Director of Support Services, and inc luded LCdr J . H. DalPian, Se c u r i t y and Administrative Ser vices Officer, and Mr. T. F. Garnett, Jr., of the Personnel Division . The chief negotiator for the Union was Mr. R. W. Fauntleroy, Business R epresentative of Columbia Lodge No . 174. Mr. Fauntleroy was assisted by Mr. R. E. Bunner and Mr. H. B. Brooks, both members of the Laboratory's guard force . W. Fauntleroy, Business R epresentative of Columbia Lodge No . 174. Mr. Fauntleroy was assisted by Mr. R. E. Bunner and Mr. H. B. Brooks, both members of the Laboratory's guard force. The completed agreement was signed at 3:00 p. m. on Wednesday, June 1, in the Office of the Director of Support Services. The effective date of the agreement is June 2, 1966. It is anticipated that the agreement will remain in effect for one year with the possibility of its subsequent extension continued - page 2 Effective May 11 the Laboratory established a Chair of Cosmic Ray Physics for Dr. Maurice M. Shapiro, who recently r esigne d from the Superin­ tendency of the Nucleonics Division after 12 years in the latter position. The post of Chair of Science was c r eat e d by the Laboratory to confer special recognition on the incumbent as a distinguished scientist of exceptional accomplishment. The staf.f of the former Cosmic Ray Branch, which Dr. Shapiro organized and led since 1949, will constitute the L ab oratory for Cosmic Ray Physics , with Dr. Shapiro as Chief Scientist. The Laboratory for Cosmic Ray Physics is en­ gaged in studies of the primary cosmic radiation­ its composition, energy spectra, and other proper­ ties. This group of physicists composing the Lab­ oratory has become especially well-known for its significant contributions to our knowledge of the helium component and the heavier primary nuclei of the primary cosmic radiation­ its composition, energy spectra, and other proper­ ties. This group of physicists composing the Lab­ oratory has become especially well-known for its significant contributions to our knowledge of the helium component and the heavier primary nuclei of the cosmic radiation, as well as for its earlier work on elementary particles. Dr. Shapiro is also Principal Investigator for the Gemini Cosmic Ray Experiment S-9, a collaborative enterprise of the Laboratory and the Goddard Space Flight Center. The emulsion stack designed for this experiment was lost on the ill-fated Gemini VIIl but, the ex­ periment is re-scheduled to be flown on Gemini Flight XI. Savings Bond Campaign Extended The Federal Savings Bonds Chairman, Postmas ­ ter General Lawrence F. O'Brien, has announced that he is extending the 25th Anniv er sary Savings Bonds Campaign for F ederal Employees through continued - page 2 2 USRL - continued As a part of NRL, the new division's work will remain essentially unchanged. Its mission, now incorporated into the mission of NRL, is to conduct research and development furthering the science of underwater sound measurement, to provide to other naval activities the resulting scientific knowledge, new or improved t e c h n i q u e s , and standardized instrumentation, and to provide facilities and ser­ vices for the accurate calibration of standard in­ strumentation and the wibiased determination of performance characteristics of development, pro­ totype, or operational underwater sound devices used by the Naval ation, and to provide facilities and ser­ vices for the accurate calibration of standard in­ strumentation and the wibiased determination of performance characteristics of development, pro­ totype, or operational underwater sound devices used by the Naval Establishment. Several of NRL's key personnel, including Capt T. B. Owen, the Director, and Dr. C. E. Cleeton, the Associate Director of Research for Electronics, have visited tbe facility to arrange for the transition. The 10. 5 acres of LabOratory ground occupied by USRD are located alongside Lake Gem Mary, one mile south of the city limits of Orlando. It has a personnel complement of 98 people: 97 civilian and 1 military. The Laboratory extends a hearty "Welcome AbOard" to its new staff members and looks forward to publication of articles about the new di vision. CONTRACT SIGNED - continued for one additional year. Significant provisions con­ cerning promotion, s c he du ling of annual leave, hours of work, and a grievance procedure with pro­ visions for advisory arbitration, are among the seventeen articles included in the agreement. This is the second agreement covering Labora­ tory employees negotiated within the framework of the F e d e r al Employee-Management Cooperation Program as set forth in Executive Order 10988. The first agreement, covering all wigraded non­ supervisory employees at the Washington complex of NRL, became effective on December 21, 1964. Re-negotiation of the latter agreement is expected to begin in the early fall of this year. SAVINGS BOND CAMPAIGN - continued June. He said that isory employees at the Washington complex of NRL, became effective on December 21, 1964. Re-negotiation of the latter agreement is expected to begin in the early fall of this year. SAVINGS BOND CAMPAIGN - continued June. He said that the additional month is needed to assure that every civilian and military employee of the Federal Government throughout the world is given an opportunity to sign up for regular pur­ chases of Savings Bonds through the Payroll Savings Plan. The Postmaster General expressed confidence that the campaign goal of 75 percent participation by Federal employees will be achieved. So far in NRL' s Savi.ngs Bond Campaign 94 people have i n c r ea s e d their Bond allotments, and 157 people have signed up for Bond deductions, making a total of 1,628 Bond savers. The Laboratory's percentage of participation is now over 50. This extra month affords you the ex c e 11 en t opportunity of signing up for Bonds. Why not jump on the "Bond Wagon" today?
