dc.description.abstractUpper‐atmosphere air densities and temperatures have been calculated from the measured trajectory data of a falling sphere. Densities were calculated from the equation for the drag force on the falling sphere, and temperatures were then obtained by using the hydrostatic equation and the equation of state of a perfect gas. The aerodynamic background and instrumentation are described; the method of calculation and the errors are discussed. The results of four rocket flights which carried the experiment are given. Comparison with the average of other rocket measurements indicates agreement with these results.en_US
