An extension by dimensional analysis of the scaling law for explosives to include ambient air density and temperature is made and tested on photographic travel time measurements of luminous and non-luminous shocks from TNT spheres in rarefied air. The initial shock velocity is found to be in approximate agreement with hydrodynamic calculations.
