In this technique, small blunt models are launched into a mixture of nitrogen and neon in a ballistic range, and the radiation from the shock layer on the forward face of the model is measured during the last few microseconds of flight by a radiometer directly in the flight path of the model. The ultraviolet radiation is sensed with the phosphor sodium salicylate. Comparison with other techniques and a brief summary of results are given.
