	Operation Argus
		Operation Argus was secretly conducted during August and September of 1958, in the South Atlantic[?] (see: South Atlantic Anomaly), by the US Atomic Energy Commission, in conjunction with the Explorer IV mission.
		The tests were proposed by Nicholas Christofilos[?] of the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory (LRL)[?] as a means to determine the possibility of creating artificial radiation belts for military purposes.
		The Argus explosions created artificial electron belts resulting from the β-decay of fission fragments.

		The Argus Project is focused on network activity audit, but the data that Argus generates is a rich source of network activity indications that can drive a number of network operational management tasks.
		Argus data provides clear, unambiguous indications of network functionality and fault conditions at a semantic level that could be used to tie together application and network function and performance.
		Argus data also can provide the performance information needed to establish behavioral baseline metrics for network end systems and applications which could then be used to compare against near real-time Argus data collected from the network.

		Date: Sun, 4 Jun 1995 10:32:01 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Operation ARGUS After writing an article about the X-Planes for the Polish aviation magazine "Lotnictwo", I did a little more research on Lockheed's X-17 rockets, which were later also used in the test program 'Operation Argus', involving exo-atmospheric nuclear explosions.
		In 1958, a project code named 'Operation ARGUS' was initiated, to test the effects of exo-atmospheric nuclear explosions and if an artificial radiation belt, similar to the Van Allen Belts, would be created.
		For ARGUS II, twelve sounding rockets were launched, between August 30 and September 2, 1958, five from Wallops Island, four from Patrick AFB, and three from Ramey AFB.

		Argus consisted of three very high altitude test shots of the W-25 warhead to investigate the effects of nuclear explosions outside the atmosphere—charged particles and radioactive isotopes released would interact with the Earth’s magnetic field which could potentially interfere with radar tracking, communications, and the electronics of satellites and ballistic missiles.
		Argus II followed on 30 August, South 49.5 degrees, West 8.2 degrees, at an altitude of 182 miles, and Argus III on 6 September, South 48.5 degrees, West 9.7 degrees, at an altitude of 466 Miles.
		Operation Argus certainly came as news to Mr Peter Wheeler, the Administrator of Tristan da Cunha who ordered the evacuation of the island on 9 October 1961 following a volcanic eruption.

		The operation is very basic and that's why it makes it easy to repair for people who doesn't even know anything about cameras.
		The worst feature prize on the Argus C3 must go to the shutter cocking lever, it's too close to where one would grasp the camera while composing and ready to shoot.
		Argus even warns you in the manual to not put your fingers there or else it'll ruin the exposure.

		Actually, Argus (summer 1958) was a relatively minor test series, although it's noteworthy because it did the first in-space tests and because it was done in such secrecy.
		Operation Argus has >been termed the "world's largest scientifc > experiment" encompassing as it did the space surrounding the entire Earth.
		Argus did not actually try to do that, but it explored the basic physics involved, and the results were negative: it won't work.

		In each of these tests, the task force launched from the missile trials ship, USS Norton Sound (AVM-1), a specially modified X-17a three-stage ballistic missile carrying a low-yield nuclear warhead, which was detonated high in the Earth's upper atmosphere.
		Upon completion of these launchings on September 6, the task force departed the operating area for Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and thence to home ports in the United States.
		Information from which this report was compiled was primarily extracted from planning and after-action reports of Task Force 88 (TF 88) and its subordinate organizations.
