Rocket-borne near infrared photometers were used to measure the (0,0) 7619 A band of O2 and the Mainel (7,2) 6861 A band of OH on September 6, 1969, August 20, 1971, and January 17, 1975. Oxygen airglow was measured using filter photometers with a half sensitivity bandwidth of 50-140 A, while hydroxyl airglow was measured using filter photometers with a half sensitivity of 185-220 A. The altitude distributions of the overhead intensities of both emissions are presented graphically for all the flights, and relative volume emission rates were calculated by differentiating the overhead intensity profile with respect to altitude. The maximum emission rate for O2 appeared at 93 plus or minus 1 km, about 3 km higher than that of the OH emission.
