Rocket temperature soundings
Abstract
The purpose was to provide rocket-borne measurements of temperature and wind. These data are used to: obtain a better understanding of the processes that control the chemical and dynamic behavior of the stratospheric region; monitor temperature trends and detect changes; verify and monitor remote measurements (ground- and satellite-based); and provide density measurements for large space vehicle operations.
