Three sounding rockets were launched in 1984 from Syowa Station in Antarctica into different types of aurora, designated as AURORA I (an active auroral arc at the substorm expansion phase), II (a stable arc prior to the substorm onset) and III (a diffuse aurora during the recovery phase). A new tele...
