A rocket-borne instrument for the measurement of nighttime atmospheric densities.A rocket instrument has been designed for the determination of nighttime atmospheric densities by means of resonant scattering. By illuminating the atmosphere with an intense parallel beam of light at the resonant wavelength of an atmospheric gas and observing the back scattering, it is possible to determine either relative or absolute atmospheric densities. In particular, the measurement of atomic hydrogen densities from 70 to 110 km will be considered.
