Abstract

The design concept and capabilities of a rocket-borne digital pressure gage capable of measuring atmospheric pressures from 1 atm to 0.5 mm Hg are described. The gage described is of the type devised by Vanderschmidt (1959) and Cambou et al. (1964). Particular attention is given to choice of instrumentation, preflight calibration, and flight results. It is shown that the performance of the digital pressure designed compares well with that of conventional meteorological pressure gages. A major advantage of this pressure transducer is that its output is digital and hence easy to transmit and count. It also has a wide dynamic range of pressure measurements. The range of the instrument can be extended to 0.01 mm Hg by connecting two ionization chambers in parallel.
