These flights were designed to measure the vertical concentration profile of trace stratospheric species which form major links in the chlorine photochemical system of the upper atmosphere, to measure the vertical concentration profiles of atomic oxygen, the hydroxyl radical and ozone in the stratosphere. An overview of the scientific goals of the program, a statement of program management and support functions, a brief description of the instrumentation flown, pertinent engineering and payload operations data, and a summary of the scientific data obtained for four flights are presented.
