Based on initial experiments carried out on the 8 in dia implosion-driven hypervelocity launcher, as well as on a preliminary design study of a larger launcher facility, the design of a 30 in dia hypervelocity launcher was completed, and a set of detailed workshop drawings has been prepared. The report describes the basic functioning of the implosion-driven hypervelocity launcher, as well as its mechanical design, operation and firing procedures. A separate section is devoted to the strength requirements and initial stressing. By using a simple analogy with a spherical pressure chamber, an estimate is made of the plastic/elastic stress level, from which some prediction of fatigue life for such a launcher was derived. The last two sections of this report give some recommendations for the proof-testing of the launcher, as well as some basic aspects regarding safety. (Author)
