Description Indian Springs AFB, Nevada, April 20, 1952 -- Exact weather information is a prime necessity during atomic test periods. To obtain information concerning air pressure, temperature and humidity, these captive, helium-filled "Kytoon" balloons, are supplied by the USAF's Air Weather Service during the AEC's periodic atomic tests at the Nevada Proving Grounds. Kytoon balloons are sent aloft before each nuclear test, and are hauled down minutes before the actual detonation occurs. Last minute weather information is thus relayed by remote control to the AEC Test Director at the Proving Grounds Control Point.
