A Future Plan of Rocket Observations in Antarctica

Abstract

Before planning future rocket exoeriments at Syowa Station in Antarctica, the IMS rocket projects already partly made and partly to be made at Syowa Station have been critically examined. For the post-IMS project, it is first proposed that the bandwidth of data transmission by rocket telemetry must be widened by powering up of the rocket-borne transmitter and by reconstructing the ground-based telemetry receiver. As to the kinds of observation, almost all IMS projects will be tried again with improving reliability of the experiments. A big comnlex payload will become feasible by an appearance of the S-500 type of rocket.
