I recalled watching shows on either TLC or Discovery that mentioned the CORONA buckets have salt plugs that would dissolve after 24 hours being in the water, thereby sinking it and preventing it from falling it into the wrong hands. If this is true, it allows the buckets to be recovered in the water if they've missed using the mid-air recovery. [[User:Calyth|Calyth]] 15:12, 8 August 2005 (UTC) |

Salt plugs on the CORONA buckets
I recalled watching shows on either TLC or Discovery that mentioned the CORONA buckets have salt plugs that would dissolve after 24 hours being in the water, thereby sinking it and preventing it from falling it into the wrong hands. If this is true, it allows the buckets to be recovered in the water if they've missed using the mid-air recovery. Calyth 15:12, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
- True. This is mentioned in Peebles' Corona book as well as maybe Day's. A photo exists with a sample recovery. The photo used in various texts is just off the coast of Santa Barbara (those those geo-knowledgable of the rock formations in the background and the firms (3) who had offices there). 143.232.210.38 (talk) 23:49, 17 December 2007 (UTC) --enm
Corona, New Mexico
Possibly this project was named after Corona, New Mexico, the city nearest to the Roswell Incident. The Roswell incident might have been a failed attempt to retrieve film from a V-2 launched into space from White Sands.
It was well known from Eugene Saenger's work that a rotating disk allowed for an even distribution of heat during reentry. What they did not know until around 1949 and the work of Hannes Alfven, was the large amount of re-entry heat due to ionization.
