摘要: The neutral composition of the atmosphere in altitude range 100–200 km has been studied with a simple magnetic mass spectrometer flown on an Aerobee rocket. variations N2, O2, and O concentration were found from spectrums obtained laboratory calibration instrument. O/O2 ratio increased altitude, reaching value above 15 at peak flight, 209 km. O2/N2 decreased altitude. Mean molecular weights densities computed as functions particle number density data.
