PROBLEMS OF INSTRUMENTATION IN SPACE RESEARCH,

Abstract

A survey of some of the problems facing the researcher in the upper atmosphere and outer-space is presented. Consideration is limited to the payloads carried on sounding-rockets, satellites and deep-space probes. Emphasis is placed upon the unique instrumentation restraints due to the environment of space and the vehicle. The conclusion is drawn that the stress upon smaller packages and reduction of power requirements will continue for some time to come. (Author)
