This data set, on 35-mm black and white negatives, was produced from film provided by the experimenter and consists of eight frames. Seven night airglow pictures were obtained at 5577 A, and one picture was taken of the airglow without a filter. The film should be viewed with the identification numbers (mission, film roll, and frame) readable at the bottom of the frame. It will then be as in the camera when viewed from the rear loading door. The emulsion side will be on the film side opposite the viewer, and the frame numbers will increase from right to left. Calibration procedures, date and time of measurement, location, exposure time, and other details are found in the report accompanying the data. Microdensitometer scans of these frames were made, and those measurements make up the magnetic tape data set SPIO-00205 (Digitized Airglow Data). See Applied Optics, v. 16, no. 4, pp. 983-992, April 1977. The original flight film is kept at the Johnson Space Center.
