Balloon-Borne, Mass-Spectrometer Package for Studying Stratospheric Positive Ions and Neutral Molecules.
Abstract
A balloon-borne, mass-spectrometer package for studying stratospheric positive ions and neutral molecules was built for the BRL by personnel of the University of Denver. The package was flown three times with limited success. Stratospheric ions were not definitely detected on any flight, but data acquired on the third flight showed that the concept of particle sampling with a very clean balloon package was sound. The package was destroyed at the end of the third flight following a free fall from 30 km. (Author)
