A rocket-borne, four-color, six-channel polarimeter launched from Poker Flat, Alaska, traversed the Moon's umbra during the July 10, 1972 solar eclipse. The brightness and linear polarization of the F corona and inner zodiacal light were measured from altitudes ranging between 310 and 330 km at solar elongations to 30 deg east and west of the Sun. Instrumentally scattered light and a serious trajectory error degraded the data, but intensity observations rnade west of the Sun are less severely affected and are presented. These data overlap and extend the measures planned for the Skylab zodiacal-light experiment. Further observations are required in the 0 deg to 30 deg elongation range. (auth)
