This 35-mm film data set was copied from the film supplied by the experimenter and contains 14 color photographs of the aurora and lower atmosphere emissions. Black and white photographs of these data make up data set SPIO-00031 (Black & White Auroral Photography). The film should be oriented so that the frame identification numbers (mission, film roll, and frame) are readable at the bottom of the frame. The film will 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 details, an analysis and interpretation of several auroral frames, and three plots of relative intensity vs apparent altitude are contained in the document accompanying the data. Microdensitometer scans of the frames in this data set were made, and the measurements make up data set SPIO-00075 (Digitized Auroral Data). See Applied Optics, v. 16, no. 4, pp. 983-992, April 1977. The original flight film is kept at the Johnson Space Center. For more information on this data set, contact Dr. Donald Packer, 1623 Fran Hammond Parkway, Alexandria, VA 22302.
