Abstract
PARTICLE sampling experiments have been conducted at the mesopause region of the atmosphere. The experiments utilized sounding rockets which were fired from the Kronogård range (66° N, 19° E) in northern Sweden, during the summer of 1962. Two successful flights out of a total of four firings were achieved: one (August 11, 0140 G.M.T.) in the presence of noctilucent clouds and one (August 7, 0047 G.M.T.) when no such clouds could be visually observed from the ground and from aircraft. The Nike-Cajun rockets carried identical instruments and in so far as can at present be determined the experimental conditions of the two successful flights were similar.
