Magnetic control of the high latitude thermosphere
The thermospheric composition and density were measured by a neutral mass spectrometer onboard OGO 6 satellite. The observations were made during a quiet magnetic period in late August and early September 1969 when the satellite perigee was near the South Pole. Gas densities at 430 km altitude and c...

| Summary: | The thermospheric composition and density were measured by a neutral mass spectrometer onboard OGO 6 satellite. The observations were made during a quiet magnetic period in late August and early September 1969 when the satellite perigee was near the South Pole. Gas densities at 430 km altitude and contours of constant N2 and He densities were plotted. |
