What is claimed as new and desired to be secured by
Letters Patent of the United States is: 1. Apparatus for
releasing free barium atoms and barium ions in the upper atmosphere
to emit resonance radiation in the form of a luminous cloud
comprising:
- a rocket vehicle capable of being launched into the upper
atmosphere of earth,
- a longitudinally configured payload carried by said rocket
vehicle,
- said payload including:
- a fuel tank disposed at one end of the payload,
- an oxidizer tank disposed at the opposite end of the payload,
and
- an open ended combustion chamber diametrically disposed
intermediate said fuel tank and said oxidizer tank and with both
ends thereof being open to the atmosphere,
- conduit means connecting said fuel tank and said oxidizer tank
to said combustion chamber,
- valve means disposed in said conduit means for selectively
permitting fluid flow from said fuel tank and said oxidizer tank
into said combustion chamber,
- a liquid fuel having a quantity of barium salts dissolved
therein disposed within said fuel tank,
- a liquid oxidizer disposed in said oxidizer tank,
- said liquid fuel and said liquid oxidizer having the inherent
chemical property characteristics of undergoing a hypergolic
reaction upon contact with each other whereby, when said valve
means permit flow of said liquid fuel and said liquid oxidizer
into said combusion chamber the resulting hypergolic reaction
releases a high yield of luminous barium atoms and barium ions.
