Abstract

The geophysical reasons for requiring magnetic measurements in the upper atmosphere and the general and instrumental considerations involved in using a Skylark rocket for the purpose are outlined. The principles of the measuring technique employing a proton precession magnetometer and the reasons for its selection are discussed. The application of these principles to the design, construction and testing of a practical instrument are described.
