Two identical instrument packages containing x-ray crystal spectrometers were flown aboard Nike-Tomahawk sounding rockets launched from Kauai, Hawaii, on August 8 and 11, 1967. Data were obtained from all stations on the first flight. On the second flight two of the KAP spectrometers failed, probably because of broken crystals. The count rates in all stations were essentially constant during the entire five minute period that the packages were above the atmosphere. On both flights excellent data on atmospheric absorption were obtained during the reentry portion of the flight.
