The particular system now being fabricated is designed for use with an Aerobee 100 rcecket and for
sampling from 40 to 85 kilometers.
Although the rocket was designed specifically to capture rhodium 102 particles in a particular altitude
range, the system of sampling is not limited to these conditions,
situation where matter of interest is contained in atmospheric air.

This sampling system is applicable to any
At this time it is the only system for

capturing near molecular particles above balloon altitudes.
