Rubidium-vapor magnetometers were flown to altitudes near 150 km over Wallops Island, Va, in four Nike-Apache rockets; two flights were made at times when no ionospheric current was expected, and none was encountered; other two flights measured current sheet with lower edge at 105 km and upper edge at 123 km, total current being in agreement with that expected from ground observations; one of flights not encountering measurable ionospheric current was flown in conjunction with another rocket in order to obtain nearly simultaneous measurements of magnetic field, electron density, and winds; ionospheric current calculated using electron density and wind data was too small to have been observed by rocket magnetometer.
