As part of the Optical Signatures Program, McDonnell Douglas Astronautics Company-West has developed the initial working model of a code to describe the gross features of rocket-plume radiation for altitudes above 75 n mi. The main effort is the construction of a scheme for integration of an arbitrary function through an arbitrary axisymmetric rocket plume, with any specified look angle, plume direction, and vehicle velocity direction. Radiances are presented as integrated values in a specified spectral band. The equations used and a printout of the code and of a sample application are included. (Author)
