The temperature readings in this rocket launch video

191 viewsOther

Hi. I was watching this video [**https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDoh8zQDT38**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDoh8zQDT38) of an old SL-10 mission, and I noticed that at 1:12 the air temperature goes down to -454F. Thing is, according to the altitude read the rocket should be right in the thermosphere, and at that height the atmospheric temperature shouldn’t be that low, so what’s going on? a malfunction, or is there something at play that I am not understanding?

man rockets really mess with temp readings dont they. that -454F is probably just a glitch or sensor issue. space is weird like that too
