Report on the Geophysical Description and Available Data Associated with Rocket PF-HJ-NJ-90
Abstract
An Honest John Nike Javelin rocket was launched at 06:33:09 UT on March 11, 1975 from Poker Flat Research Rocket Range. This rocket reached an apogee altitude of 183.1 km with a total flight time greater than 370 seconds. The payload was successfully recovered. The rocket was launched into the eastward electrojet and penetrated into the region between the eastward and westward electrojets thirty minutes prior to an 800 gamma negative bay in H at College. The sky at Poker Flat was partly cloudy; at Fort Yukon mostly clear, and at Ester Dome completely overcast. No meridian scanning photometer data were obtained at Ester Dome and a camera malfunction at Ft. Yukon makes data analysis difficult although analog tape data are available if a more detailed study of this event warrants the additional effort. All sky camera data does permit a description of the general auroral activity during this event. (Author)
