Zusammenfassung:	Six remote sensing atmospheric instruments aboard the 9-day Atlas-1 Space Shuttle mission covered an unprecedented spectrum of regions in the 15-300 km altitude range, yielding a unique data base for the temperature, pressure, and compositions found therein. In addition, experiments were conducted in space plasma physics, which included aurora-induction for photometric imaging camera observations. Measurements were also made of the precipitation of energetic neutrals from the ring current.
