Meier, R.R., Carruthers, G.R., Page, T.L. and Levasseur-Regourd, A.-C. (1977). Geocoronal Lyman ß and Balmer a emissions measured during the Apollo 16 mission. Journal of Geophysical Research 82: doi: 10.1029/JA082i004p00737. issn: 0148-0227.

Observations of the geocoronal Lyman &bgr; emission rate were made with an electrographic camera/spectrograph during the Apollo 16 mission. These data along with geocoronal Balmer &agr; airglow measurements obtained simultaneously from the D2A spacecraft are found to agree, to within experimental error, with an optically thick geocoronal hydrogen model.
