Rocket Experiments on Auroral X-Rays at Syowa Station, Antarctica in 1971-1973

This report briefly summarizes preliminary results of a series of rocket experiments on auroral X-rays carried out at Syowa Station, Antarctica during 1971-1973. Dual sets of sounding rockets were launched each year to an altitude between 100 km and 130 km. From five of six nights in total, distinct...
