Scientific paper

The investigation reported involved the release of a few grams of NO in the altitude range from 62 to 120 km. The light from the resulting reaction was observed by 4 photometers which were carried by the rocket employed in the studies. The results obtained confirmed the high reaction rate found in experiments reported by Golomb et al. (1965). It was also found, however, that the spectrum of the emission varied with altitude. It is suggested that the altitude dependence of the light emission might constitute a source of error in the study of atomic oxygen densities in the upper atmosphere by an approach based on this emission.
