Scientists and engineers with a recovered rocket payload. This was carried by a Terrier-Sandhawk rocket launched by Sandia Corp., 12 May 1970, from the Kauai Test Range. The payload reached an altitude of 306 km and spent 6 minutes above the atmosphere detecting X-rays. After re-entry, it was recovered from the ocean. White paint on the nose cone has been charred black by heating during ascent. The proportional counter slat collimator is pointed to the upper right and is intact. Left to right are: F. Seward, J. Harri, A. Iantuono, P. Stoering, T. Erven, C. Cornell, J. Zickuhr, R. Hill, and R. Grader. All are smiling because everything has worked perfectly. (Courtesy of LLL and Sandia Laboratories.)
