Positive ion conductivity and temperature of plume gases enveloping the top of the launcher umbilical tower (LUT) were monitored during the launch of Apollo 15. The measurements are presented along with the orientation of the rocket plume relative to the instrumentation. Details and limitations of the apparatus are described, and the calibration techniques are given. (Author)
