Description

Summary: Perflight preparatton., launching and recovery of animals, for physiological tests. 1) CU rocket nose in the Aeromedical Laboratory. 2) Rocket nose with skin removed to show the types of equipment. 3) CU lab technician as she places three white mice into two cvlinders. 4) ECU electronic device -- technician turns the unit and then installs it in the rocket nose. 5) Installation of the cylinders containing the mice into the nose of rocket. 6) CU monkeys in a pen. 7) CU monkey being prepared for rocket flight and then being placed into the cone of the rocket. 8) MS camera pans from tip of nose down to base of rocket. 9) CU technician at control console. 10) CU instrument recording kilocycles. 11) CU circular test patterns on scope. 12) CU technician maktng adjustments to console. 13) CU sign: "AERO MEDICAL FIELD LABORATORY. MTHTB-17. BUIlDING 1201". 14) EXT view of the Aeromedical Lab. Two men leave the building and walk over to staff car; one man is carrying monkey on a slab -- staff car drives out of scene. 15) CU staff car drives through an open field and stops -- men get out of ear, walk over to rocket nose and place the monkey at the base of the rocket. Man from lab gives the monkey a shot and places it in the missile nose. 16) Nose being installed onto the base of the missile. 17) Aerobee missile being placed in a vertical position. 18) MS camera pans to top of vertical tower -- men are working on the rocket. 19) Several ECU's of the men working on the rocket. 20) LS & ELS vertical tower. 21) INT control building. 22) LS launching area showing flares being fired. 23) INT control house during the firing -- shows men signaling, watching clock, pressing switches, etc. 24) LS launching of the Aerobee missile. 25) LS taken from the missile as it ascends. 26) CU oscillograph recording in operation. 27) ELS trail of the rocket. 28) CU mice in the cylinder during flight -- also inside the cylinder is a small ball. 29) CU into the blossom of a ribbon parachute. 30) Sequence of the mice in the cylinder. 31) MS low angle R-5 in flight. 32) Sequence of the mice. 33) AV ground impact of Parachute. 34) MS low angle of an R-5 flying to the left. 35) CU R-5 on ground, rotor blades turning. 36) CU men as they remove skin from nose cone with tin snips. 37) Removal of the monkey -- monkey kicks. 38) CU monkey on the slab -- eyes open. 39) Several angles of two monkeys taken from nose cone -- one is lying; on a slab and the other is in a seated position. 40) Several angles of the nose cone of the Aerobee missile on ground. 41) CU R-5 taking off, in flight, hovering, and landing. 42) MS medical men carrying the monkeys toward camera. 43) CU lab technician removing the mice from the cylinder and placing them in a cage -- mice are very active. 44) CU two monkeys in a cage.
