UNDER the auspices of the Gassiot Com-mittee of the Royal Society a conference on rocket exploration of the upper atmosphere was held at Queen's College, Oxford, on August 24, 25 and 26. The majority of the papers pre-sented were concerned with the instrumentations and techniques for physical measurements con-cerning the atmosphere, but in addition there were some papers which outlined the develop-ment of the high altitude sounding rocket, first using modified V-2 rockets and then new vehicles constructed specifically for high altitude research.
