Broad nonmathematical resume of present knowledge; relationship of earth's atmospheric characteristics to fields of aeronautics and astronautics; rarefied regions of upper atmosphere require extension of aerodynamic theories into new realms of fluid mechanics; problems of flight through and beyond earth's atmosphere; important physical characteristics of atmosphere up to altitudes of 1000 mi; relations of these characteristics to human body, meteorology, and communications.
