Remote sensing of energetic auroral X-rays from above the emission region can provide both local and global information regarding X ray and energetic electron deposition within the middle atmosphere. However, contamination of X ray detectors by local corpuscular radiation can severely affect the scope and accuracy of the detector measurements. It is, therefore, necessary to employ techniques designed to observe X rays while rejecting the far more intense corpuscular radiation component. A suitable approach for the mapping of auroral X rays involves the employment of rockets for flights above the emission region. A description is presented of the results obtained from two rocket flights launched from Poker Flat Research Range, Alaska, during aurorally active periods in March 1978. The data were measured with the aid of scanning detectors protected from particles by broom magnet techniques.
