Scientific paper

Some rocket measurements are reported from Woomera, Australia of the atmospheric extinction of solar ultraviolet radiation in the 142- to 149-nm and 155- to 169-nm bands. These bands of radiation are absorbed by the Schumann-Runge continuum, and the measurements lead to determinations of molecular oxygen densities over the 100- to 160-km altitude region. The Cockatoo vehicles used were 12.7-cm-diameter unstabilized, spinning rockets which carried sunslits and other visible light photocells of known angular response to sunlight so that the aspect angle between the ultraviolet detectors and the sun could be determined throughout each flight. The 40-cm-diameter Skylark rockets were stabilized so that the detectors were pointed directly at the sun throughout the observing period of each flight.
