A Black Brant rocket, instrumented to measure ionospheric parameters was launched from Churchill Research Range, Manitoba, Canada, in November 1968, during a Polar Cap Absorption event. The purpose of the flight was to investigate input proton fluxes and corresponding effects upon the ionospheric D-...
