The barium jet released by the Barium-GEOS rocket was observed by low light television cameras at Skibotn, Norway, and Esrange, Sweden. The release produced a single well-defined jet containing barium ions with initial velocities between 7 and 12 km/s systematically slower than the velocities reported in previous experiments. Accurate data were obtained on the motion of the jet for the first two minutes after release (up to a height of 2000 km). The orientation of the jet was close to that of an IGRF 1975 model field line but was significantly different from that predicted by the Barraclough and Olson field model. The motion of the jet across the field lines was southwards with a velocity of about 150 m/s.
