Construction begins on the Jicamarca Observatory site for the Scatter Radar antenna as staff families settle down in Peru.
Space research from the ground with a Scatter Radar. Scientists outside the Instituto Geofisico Del Peru, scientific research organization of the Peruvian government. A train of the Ferrocarril Central Andino (FCCA) on its way to the Institute's observatory. It travels through the Rimac Valley in the Andes, including Ticlio at nearly 16,000 feet. It is the highest elevation railway junction in the world. View of a snow-covered mountain (possibly Yuraqqucha on border of the Lima and JunÃn regions). Llama graze and move about high up in the mountains. Huancayo (Wankayu) Village: Local Quechuan Indians trade in the weekly market. Shops in the street, street vendors with their goods. The Jicamarca Observatory, new National Bureau of Standards facility near Lima. Scientists work at scopes and other instruments. Aerial view of the Peruvian coastline. The valley 17 miles from Lima. Rocks on the arid coast. Green vegetable fields and broad flat plane in the arid valley. The site for the antenna. Bulldozers prepare the site for construction. A diversion dam constructed on the site. Gully in the valley floor. Peruvian workers lay wire to sound an alarm in case a mudflow should come. Men mark ground and align places for post holes, lay wood posts to support the antenna dipole. They assemble inserts, connect the antenna, and lay bricks. The workers collect their pay. Bureau of National Standards staff and their families in Chaclacayo community. The families gather with locals for a Anticuchos barbecue (Peruvian beef kabobs). The wives of the U.S. scientists shop for fruits and vegetables in the local market.
Dr. Kenneth Bowles and his team of scientists work at the Jicamarca Observatory near Lima, Peru.
Space research from the ground with a Scatter Radar. Completed construction at the Jicamarca Observatory near Lima, Peru. Hills in the background. Engineers and technicians inside the Observatory. Local Peruvians with technical skills are trained in class. A technician inspects the Observatory transformers. Men make final wiring check in the Condenser Bank. Two men work on an amplifier in the Amplifier Room. Technicians work at pumps and heat exchangers for the water purification and cooling system. Men work with blowers that circulate cool air throughout passage ways in tunnels. Cables and piping in the tunnels. Scientists direct transmitter energy into the antenna. They monitor every function of the operation. Coaxial aluminum piping conducts transmitted and received radio signals through a spark gap and mixer. A man operates the system outside. Energy for the radio signals flows through coaxial piping in trenches. Dipoles in a modular section of the antenna to probe the upper atmosphere in order to measure electron densities. Open wire lines connect two rows of elements. Dr. Kenneth Bowles conducts scientific observation in the Screen Room. He measures the electron density with a transmitter, holds a record of the trace of electron densities. Electron density observations on a monitor. Antenna at the Observatory, hills in the background. A globe rotates.
Views of Beach near Newport, Oregon.Sedimentary sandstone.Long narrow board walk. Observation tower
Panning views of sand Beach near Newport, Oregon. Shows sedimentary sandstone near breakwater. Derrick on end of breakwater A portion of the land is covered with wild grass. A very long board walk extends along near side of canal in background. Elevated observation tower and primitive electric poles.
Oceanic survey ship underway in ocean. Explosive charges detonated underwater
Aerial views of oceanic survey vessel underway in ocean. Level view, from another boat, of survey vessel, as it detonates two underwater explosions, raising columns of water.. Ship has a royal crown insignia on bow and flies Panamanian flag.
Extracting ocean core samples on deck of survey vessel. Setting off explosive charges for seismic survey
Crew members, on deck of oceanic survey vessel, employ winches,hawsers, and steel rods, to extract ocean core samples from coring tubes. They place protective paper under end of tube to protect the core sample as it emerges from the tube. Technician, standing on deck of ship, sets off underwater explosion which raises column of water into the air. View of mud sample from end of coring tube.Crew lifts tube and places protective paper beneath it. Then tube is withdrawn and sample is pushed out onto paper. Crewmen get another section of tube to repeat the process.
Collecting and recording seismic survey data aboard an oceanic survey vessel in the Pacific ocean
Instrument panel on board oceanic survey vessel. Technician makes adjustments to seismic data recording equipment. Paper is fastened with tape around a rotating drum and pens record the seismic data on the paper.
