A study of planetary meteorology
The concept is described of deducing the temperature profile of a planetary atmosphere from orbiter measurements of the planet's IR limb radiance profile. Expressions are derived for the weighting functions associated with the limb radiance profile for two infrared tranmission models. Analysis of the weighting functions for the Martian atmosphere indicates that a limb radiance profile in the 15 micron CO2 band can be used to determine the Martian atmospheric temperature profile from 20 to 60 km.

The kinetics of reaction of the by-products of ablative materials at high temperatures and the rate of heat transfer between hot surfaces and reactive gases
Research has been conducted by means of laboratory experiments to enhance understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of heterogeneous and homogeneous chemical reactions taking place during ablative processes that accompany the reentry or manned space vehicles into planetary atmospheres. Fundamental mechanisms of those chemical reactions believed to be important in the thermal degradation of ablative plastic heat shield materials, and the gases evolved, are described.
