Abstract

A SKYLARK rocket (SL 1023) was launched in the British National Space Research Programme at Woomera Range, S. Australia, at 1130 local time on March 14, 1972. The objective was to make a detailed analysis of the structure of the local daytime ionospheric current system. The study included measurements of vertical profiles of electron density and temperature, electric field, vector magnetic field and neutral wind velocity between 90 and 260 km (vehicle apogee). A detailed report of these measurements will be made at a later date.
