(Sounding rockets, St ging, Separation, Tele metering receivers, Telemetering transmitters, Telemetering an enn s. Identifiers: Argo D4 (Jav lin), Argo D8 (Journeyman).An inv igation of a new type experiment for the measurement of lec ron de sities in the upper F region of he iono phere using rockets i described. Also described are the theory of the experiment and the predicted accuracy under various ionospheric conditions. The specifications for the neces ary equipment to conduct an initial experiment are given with the design consider tions on which these were based. Recommendations are made for two series of experiments: an initial series extending to 1100 Km using the Argo D4 researc rocket, follo ed by a further series to 2500 Km using the Argo D8. (Author)
