Operation Argus High Altitude
Nuclear Test Program on DVD
Operation Argus was a series of three high-altitude nuclear tests conducted
by the Atomic Energy Commission in the South Atlantic Ocean in August
and September 1958. The results of Operation Argus proved the validity
of the Christofilos theory. This theory proposed that a radiation belt
is created in the upper regions of the Earth's atmosphere by high-altitude
detonations.
The radiation belt affects radio and radar transmissions, damages or
destroys the arming and fuzing mechanisms of Intercontinental Ballistic
Missile warheads, and endangers crews of orbiting space vehicles that
might enter the belt.
The tests, conducted in complete secrecy, were not announced until the
following year. Low-yield devices were carried to an altitude of approximately
300 miles by rockets before being detonated. More than 4,500 military
personnel and civilian scientists participated in the test operation.
The tests comprising 1958 Operation Argus were as follows:
ARGUS I, August 27, South 38.5 degrees, West 11.5 degrees, South Atlantic,
rocket, weapons effects, 1-2 kt
ARGUS II, August 30, South 49.5 degrees, West 8.2 degrees, South Atlantic,
rocket, weapons effects, 1-2 kt
ARGUS III, September 6, South 48.5 degrees, West 9.7 degrees, South Atlantic,
rocket, weapons effects, 1-2 kt
The total run time of this DVD is 46 minutes.

| Shipping
and Handling: |
U.S. $3.00
for the first item purchased. An additional $1.00 will be charged
for each additional item bought and paid with the same payment (i.e.
the same eBay invoice).
International: $6.00 for the first item and $1.00 for each additional
item
bought and paid with the same payment (i.e. the same eBay invoice).
Here is how
this works on eBay. First, make all the purchases you want without
making a payment. When you make your final product purchase, make
your payment. At that point, eBay will allow you to combine all
your purchases into a single payment and will automatically charge
you the shipping charges as stated above. If you do not follow this
procedure, you will be making multiple payments, paying shipping
multiple times and get your order sent in multiple packages.
If this process
doesn't work, contact us and we will generate a correct invoice
for you.
Shipping is
generally completed within one business day of purchase.
