Scientific paper

The first detection of isolated deuterium atoms in the earth's upper atmosphere through their resonantly scattered Lyman-alpha emission is reported. An atmospheric emission of 3.3 x 10 to the 8th is observed for a tangent altitude of 110 km during the Spacelab 1 mission launched November 28, 1983. The (D/H) ratio of 0.0003 is slightly enriched over the sea water value of 0.00016.
