Abstract:

A TMA trail was ejected rom a Paiute-Tomahawk rocket over the Poker Flat sounding Rocket Range during the night of March 26, 1973. The purpose of the trail was to measure winds in the thermosphere as a part of a coordinated program consisting of a large number of rocket and ground based measurements. However, due to local cloudiness, useful data were obtained from only one photographic site.
