Flight Project Pyrotechnics Subsection Document Collection, 1971-1985.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/733100039

The collection documents the pyrotechnics subsection of four projects that were managed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Projects Viking, Voyager and Galileo comprise the bulk of the collection. There are also records from Mariner 10. Pyrotechnics are small controlled chemical explosive devices that may function as switches or drivers for change. The device is often referred to as a squib. The documents include reports, interoffice memoranda, test specifications, summary test reports, test orders, parts analysis reports, and electrical drawings.

Project Viking was composed of two spacecraft, Viking 1 and Viking 2, each consisting of an orbiter and a lander. The two Vikings were launched in August and September 1975. The Landers touched down on the surface of Mars in July and August 1976. The Viking orbiters and landers continued sending back data until 1982. Project Voyager was a dual spacecraft long-range mission that conducted a "Grand Tour" of the outer planets. The project was originally called "Mariner Jupi...
