Arcas sounding rocket, launched by NASA from Cold Lake Range, Primrose Lake, Canada, carried GSFC payload to 67.5-km (41.9-mi) altitude to obtain ozone measurements in conjunction with Nimbus IV satellite overpass. Rocket performed satisfactorily. Payload transmitter stopped transmitting 40 secs after ejection, but prefailure data were of good quality. Launch was first in two-rocket series; second would be conducted Oct. 17. (NASA Rpt SRL)
