Scientific paper

An experimental investigation into the characteristics and dynamics of the Earth’s thermosphere using a low-Earth orbiting platform is described. An overview of the investigation and its host mission, Streak, is given. The centerpiece of the investigation, a sensitive pressure sensor that utilizes an ionization gauge, is described in detail. Presented are the observational objectives of the instrument, its principles of measurement, and a technical description of its design and implementation. Orbital operations are discussed, and an early sample of the returned measurements is presented.
