Abstract
A resonance absorption — resonance fluorescence experiment conducted during the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project was designed to measure atomic O and atomic N densities at 225 km. Resonance radiation from Apollo was returned by a collection of retro-reflections to a spectrophotometer on the Apollo, with total path lengths of 300, 1000 and 2000 m. The results obtained were discussed and the applicability of similar experiments from Spacelab analysed.
