Technical Note: A novel rocket-based in situ collection technique for mesospheric and stratospheric aerosol particles

A technique for collecting aerosol particles between altitudes of 17 and 85 km is described. Spin-stabilized collection probes are ejected from a sounding rocket allowing for multi-point measurements. Each probe is equipped with 110 collection samples that are 3 mm in diameter. The collection sample...
