GROUND RANGE FIRING ROCKETS fired at the Test Station are usually either experimental models or sample rockets submitted for the testing necessary to approve a production lot. These rounds must therefore be fired in accordance with special safety regulations in order to protect the range crews from possible blowups or wild rounds. All possible precautions are taken to insure that the electrical firing circuit cannot be closed while the crew is loading a round in the launcher. When all per- sonnel have retired to a safe distance, firing is done by a firing officer in a concrete barricade behind the launcher. An automatic mechanism, turned on by the firing officer after the range is cleared, sounds warning signals, fires the rocket, and starts the high-speed cameras which photograph the flight of the round. 16
