National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Falling Sphere Measurements of Atmospheric Density, Temperature, and Pressure, Up to 115 Km.

AD605273

Publication Date	1964
Personal Author	Champion, K. S. W.; Faire, A. CC.
Page Count	2
Abstract	Newly developed airborne instrumentation has made it posssible to extend the measurements of atmospheric density, temperature and pressure from the previous upper limit of 90 km to 115 km by means of the 7-inch rigid sphere method. A brief description of the instrumentation is given. Results of four rocket-borne experiments launched at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, in November 1963 and February 1964 are presented and compared with the U. S. Standard Atmosphere, 1962, and a winter atmosphere for 30 degrees latitude. (Author)
