WS-119L
The WS-119L reconnaisance payload, was the payload carried by balloons launched under the GENETRIX program which was a covert military operation carried out between January and Febuary 1956 by the United States Air Force and other agencies to obtain aerial images of Eastern Europe, Soviet Union and China. The program involved the launch of stratospheric balloons from sites in Scotland, West Germany, Norway and Turkey at a time when high altitude spy planes like the U2 or the first satellites still were not operative.
The WS-119L system was a complex device with several separate elements as can be seen in the scheme at left: the suspension system, the photographic gondola, and the balloon (not shown).
At the top of the gondola assembly was an eye-bolt (l) which was attached to the ballon lower part and by which the equipment was supported. Directly beneath was a rotator unit (2) which provided during flight a complete rotation of the gondola every 100 minutes to allow panoramic coverage. Below the rotator hung the main pole or main-bar (3) that served as supporting link and electrical wire conduit between the rotator, and the sub-bar assembly. It consisted of a coupling link, supporting straps, a sail, and a long strut called the main pole. The short pole or sub-bar assembly was attached to the bottom of the long pole. From it two ballast boxes (4) and a sub-pole (5) were suspended. From the letter hung two boxes: the thermal box (6) containing the control, power and communications equipment, and the DMQ-l box (7), which contained the photographic package. These poles supported cabling which electrically interconnected major components of the system. A cluster of five parachutes was attached to the sub-pole so that at the conclusion of the flight the equipment on the sub-pole may be safely lowered.
The DMQ-1 Photographic Reconnaisance Package (7) was composed by a fiberglass box measuring 36 x 30 x 57 inches designed to enclose the camera equipment. It was lined with six inches of styrofoam for insulation and contained a duplex camera which had two 6-inch lenses on opposite sides at a 34.5º angle to the horizon. The camera was capable of obtaining about 500 pictures using film of 9 inches square, covering 50 miles on either side of the balloon path. On the bottom of the box a photo cell turned on and off the camera according to the illumination below. The gondola also carried a 16 mm gun camera, whose photos indicated balloon's altitude, azimuth and a wide-angle view of the ground which showed the general geographic location something specially useful for later analysis and overlapping of the images.
The WS-119L system was launched using a zero pressure balloon of either two models: one denominated 66CT, cylindrical shaped, with a volume of 125.000 cubic feet, and another identified as 128TT, pear shaped, with a volume of 740.000 cubic feet. Both were designed following the "natural shape" principle, and were manufactured by General Mills Inc. using polyethylene 0.002 inches thick.
The mission profile was as follows: after launched, the balloon climbed to the preset altitude and transited the target zone carried by eastward winds performing the photographic task until exiting enemy territory. At that time a preset timer would turn on a HF beacon which allowed the balloon to be tracked by a series of receiving stations along the Pacific Ocean. Once a balloon entered the allowed recovery zone and started to transmit, a specially fitted C-119 plane would be sent after it. Once the balloon was located by the plane, the crew would transmit a special code to terminate the flight and the gondola was separated from the balloon. As it descended under his parachute it would be catched in mid-air by the C-119, or if this failed, the package also could be snatched by that same plane from the water, or recovered later by boat.
After retrieved, the gondolas were processed on site and sent by air to the United States. The film was in the hands of the interpreters an average of 75 hours after recovery.
Of the 516 balloon systems launched, only 44 WS-119L gondolas were recovered. From these only from 40 were obtained useful images. The total number of usable exposures was 13,813 which covered 1,116,449 square miles of the USSR and China. As most part of the gondolas recovered were those launched from Turkey, the coverage was concentrated in Siberia and China, while a poor coverage was obtained of European Russia and Soviet Central Asia. The only finding of significance was the discovery of a vast nuclear refining facility at Dononovo in Siberia.
Besides the program was not as succesful as intended, the images obtained by Genetrix were some of the best and most complete obtained of the Soviet Union after the World War II and before the satellite era. It was referred to as "pioneer" photography because it provided a base-line for all future overhead photography. Even photos of common things as forests and streams proved valuable in later years when U-2 spy plane and satellite photography revealed construction activity in the same places.
In a curious twist of fate, also the URSS received indirectly some benefits from the program. In 1958, the Soviet engineers were developing a camera system for a future probe aimed to take pictures of the far side of the moon. The main problem they faced was how to obtain a radiation resistant film that could by less affected by cosmic radiation than the conventional one. Apparently, they found the solution adapting the unexposed film found in some of the Genetrix gondolas recovered from URSS soil two years before, which had these characteristics. Thus, forty frames of that film were loaded and succesfuly exposed during the Lunik-3 mission in 1959.
