Scientific paper

A rocketborne instrument module for detecting atomic oxygen concentrations by the resonance fluorescence technique is reported. The module contained a source lamp emitting O I 1304 A photons and a detector for the scattered photons. The module was constructed so that it could be coupled to a fast flow reactor for calibration purposes. During the flight the module was radially deployed from the payload on an oscillating boom with a maximum extension of 90 cm from the skin. Analysis of the initial flight data indicates that the shock formed by the motion of the rocket had a substantial effect on the data and the maximum concentration of the layer at 93 km was about 1.1 x 10 to the 11th/cu cm.
