The rate coefficient for the reaction O(+) + N2 yields NO(+) + N is determined as a function of temperature from the photochemistry of NO(+) for both day and night conditions by using a large sample of simultaneous measurements of ion and neutral concentrations and temperatures made by the Atmosphere Explorer C satellite. The results cover the ion temperature range from 500 to 1200 K. Using recent flow-drift-tube results, the rate coefficient is calculated as a function of ion temperature and mean ion drift velocity for ionospheric conditions. The satellite and laboratory determinations are found to be in good agreement. Using this temperature dependence, an earlier determination of the dissociative recombination coefficient of NO(+) with electrons is refined.
