Measurement of high altitude air density by means of a sounding rocket containing instruments to measure the intensity of light scattered from a segment of a light beam projected from a modulated onboard source is investigated. Based upon a partially successful flight of such a payload and theoretical considerations, the technique does appear to be fundamentally sound but requires significant design improvements to operate successfully at altitudes between 100 and 175 kilometers.
