Abstract:

The relative safety of personnel in several selected areas was studied during an IM-99B launching. Data were collected relative to free-air temperature, noise, and toxic gases which contribute to personnel hazards. Based on an analysis of the data obtained by physical measurements, survivability of personnel remaining at the selected test locations in the launch area during missile launch would be 100. However, they may experience both temporary and permanent ear damage. Author
