Abstract Two of the many sounding rockets launched as part of the MAC-EPSILON campaign are particularly suited to test the validity or quality of d-region models. The measurements covered atomic oxygen, neutral temperatures and fluxes of charged particles. With these parameters as inputs one is in the position to assess their relevance for the ionospheric parameters, i.e. ion composition, transition heights of clusters and negative ions and total plasma density.
