The paper describes a rocket-borne chemiluminescent NO detector and gives some NO mixing ratios in the altitude range from 42 to 60 km calculated on the basis of data obtained from this instrument. The mixing ratios were calculated from the observed counting rates on the assumption of a standard atmospheric pressure profile and the known vehicle velocity profile. The NO mixing ratio decreased from 4.2 billionths at 42 km to 2.2 billionths at 50 km, and then increased to 5.2 billionths at 60 km. The results are deemed accurate to within 20% and may be viewed as upper bounds on nitric oxide concentration in the absence of any NO loss processes.
