Thermospheric far infrared emission was measured by a rocket-borne, helium-cooled grating spectrometer in the wavelength region 45 to 125 microns. The rocket was launched on March 16, 1977 at 2304 CET from Andoya, Norway, during a moderate geomagnetic disturbance. First spectral measurements of the 63-micron atomic oxygen fine structure transition were obtained in the altitude regime 90-180 km. No other emissions were found in the spectral range covered at altitudes above 130 km. The minimum detectable radiance was below 2 times 10 to the minus 11th power W/sq cm-sr. Radiometric measurement of CO2 15-micron band emission were made by the same instrument in the altitude range 102-140 km.
