Studies of the Balloon-Borne Mass Spectrometer Problem.

Abstract

The project involved theoretical studies of the ion sampling problem for balloon-borne mass spectrometric apparatus in the stratosphere, manufacturing of standard, special, and prototype apparatus, construction of a vacuum system and ancillary apparatus for testing and experimentation, and described experimental work. Appendices to the report include a literature survey and instructions for the deliverable manufactured items. (Author)
