Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Sounding rockets are specialized suborbital research vehicles frequently used to conduct in-situ measurements and study phenomena in the upper atmosphere and ionosphere.

The analysis

The retrieved papers consistently describe sounding rockets as suborbital vehicles utilized for scientific investigations (such as measuring plasma, electric fields, and cusp dynamics) specifically within the upper atmosphere and ionosphere. No papers refute this claim.
