This report summarizes the engineering and instrumentation effort provided in support of the AFGL Research Rocket Program. Research and developmental efforts included a study on the potential use of bubble memory systems for data collection and storage on sounding rockets, the development of an enhanced PCM telemetry station that can acquire in real-time up to 75K words per second for Aries type rocket payloads, and the development of a microprocessor based balloon azimuth controller for positioning the payload gondola of research balloons. A summary of the engineering and instrumentation effort provided in support of research rocket launches is also included. (Author)
