Sounding Rocket Experiments at Syowa Station during International Magnetospheric Study (IMS) Period, 1976-1978

During the period of International Magnetospheric Study (IMS, 1976-1979), twelve S-210JA type and seven S-310JA type rockets were launched from Syowa Station, Antarctica, into auroras at various stages of polar substorms. Through the successful rocket flights, the significant physical quantities in...
