Planning and Simulating Observations for a Sounding Rocket Experiment to Measure Polar Night Nitric Oxide in the Lower Thermosphere by Stellar Occultation
The objective of this thesis was to select a star for observation and determine the error in the retrieval technique for a rocket experiment to measure lower thermospheric Nitric Oxide in the polar night using stellar occultation technique. These objectives are accomplished by planning the geometry,...
