Objectives of program at NASA Langley Research Center are acquisition of data and experience to be used in development of facility for investigation of re-entry problems, with reasonable simulation of velocity and density; accelerator has channel 1 in. square and 12 in. long, uses nitrogen seeded with 0.3% mole fraction cesium and operates at high pressure (50 mm Hg), and high magnetic field (11, 500 gauss); power input is 360 kw, with 50 amp through each of 24 electrode pairs; 1200-v axial potential difference posed operational problems; steps taken to alleviate these are described.
