Summary
| Description |
The Data Sheet for the 7 SNAP-19C capsules made in early 1965 by Mound Laboratory that comprise the heat source for the SNAP-19C Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator built by the Martin Company for installation on top of Nanda Devi mountain in Nepal to power a Central Intelligence Agency monitoring station to collect telemetry from Chinese rocket launch tests. The sources were stored in a rock formation short of the summit in the face of a snowstorm and subsequently carried down the mountain onto a glacier by an avalanche and lost. |
