Report on the Geophysical Description and Available Data Associated with Rocket PF-SGT-116 (IC 630.02-1A.
Abstract
A Sargent rocket was launched at 08:05:20 UT on April 1, 1976 from Poker Flat Research Rocket Range. This rocket reached an apogee altitude of 125 km with a total flight time greater than 390 seconds. The payload was successfully recovered. The rocket was launched into intense auroral activity propagating south. The launch occurred at the onset of a board 800 gamma negative bay in delta H at Poker Flat. Peak intensities of OI (5577A) emission along the rocket trajectory on the order of 250kR were reached at T + 24 seconds and T + 194 seconds. Because of the rapid changes in position and intensity of the aurora during this launch determination of the detailed relationship between the aurora and on-board rocket data will be very difficult.
