Abstract

This chapter makes no attempt to give a review of the present status of rocket and satellite investigations in the upper atmosphere. A detailed review would itself fill a large book; moreover, there are now detailed reviews which have been written by specialists in their fields which summarize the investigation of different aspects of the upper atmosphere. For example, we can mention reviews of electron-concentration determinations (Bourdeau [1], Bourdeau, Chapman, and Maeda [2], Ivanov-Kholodnyi [3], Gringauz [4]); investigation of solar short-wave radiation (Hinteregger [5], Tousey [6]); rocket and satellite investigations of atmospheric density and temperature (King-Hele [7], Jacchia [8], Mikhnevich [9], Newton et al. [10], etc.). All available experimental data on the neutral composition of the atmosphere were compared in recent studies by the author [11], Pokhunkov [12], and Near [13]. A summary of the results of rocket investigations of ion composition in the region 100–200 km is given in an article by the author and Ivanov-Kholodnyi [14].
