ROCKET INSTRUMENTATION FOR AURORAL MEASUREMENTS - AEROBEE 3.615,
Abstract
An Aerobee rocket (3.615) was instrumented with a sophisticated array of devices for simultaneous, direct measurement of many parameters associated with the polar ionosphere during a visible auroral event. The instruments included electron and proton counters and scintillators, electron and ion density and temperature probes, x-ray counters, and auroral light photometers. Details of the rocket payload and the 24 different sensors are presented. (Author)
