Sandia designed a 12-inch diameter payload for the Nike Tomahawk booster system to carry a LASL barium injection experiment. The payload included a telemetry system for monitoring payload performance, an attitude control system to aim the injection perpendicular to the magnetic field lines and a command system to permit ground control of on-board payload functions. Sandia also provided necessary support to field the experiment at their Tonopah Test Range. The work was primarily concerned with the carrier vehicles and fielding operations, and only general statements are made concerning the experiments themselves. LASL has published descriptions of the experiments and will publish the results independently. Appendix A contains a Sandia Statement of Work describing its involvement, and a ''Description and Status Report.''. (ERA citation 04:006396)
