A handy little book has been prepared whose main value is that it describes a quantity of instruments and techniques for carrying out high altitude and space experiments. For example, under the second space experiments chapter, fields, particles, lunar surveying, solar research, etc., are discussed with details on specific instruments. Other chapters deal with near and deep space, rocket propulsion and electronics and basic instrumentation. The book is No. ST5 in the "Science Today" series.
