E.O. Hulburt at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Optics Division jumped at the chance. Between 1946 and 1951, the NRL undertook 80 experiments using V-2 rockets that provided new and valuable information about the nature of Earth's upper atmosphere and ionosphere. The first launch, on October 10, 1946, delivered the first recorded solar spectrum of the Sun from above Earth's atmosphere. http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/V-2-rocket-at-White-Sands/V-2-rocket-at-White-Sands.dc.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT
