Study to determine feasibility of developing rocketsonde system for routine meteorological use; possible system would be single stage solid propellant rocket carrying instrumentation to desired altitude, at which point instrument container could be separated for descent by parachute; two tracking systems could provide necessary slant range information: radar and AN/GMD-2 Rawinsonde system; temperature measurements and temperature-sensing elements.
