ROCKET INSTRUMENTATION FOR THE GYRO-INTERACTION EXPERIMENT AEROBEE AE3.614,
Abstract
A strong interaction between radio waves and the ionosphere when excited in the vicinity of the electron gyrofrequency has been denoted as gyro-interaction. If the radio wave is of sufficient strength, increased energy and collisions cause noticeable heating and increased electron density. To produce such a disturbance and provide a means of measuring the associated parameters, an Aerobee rocket (AE 3.614) was instrumented and flown from the Eglin Gulf Test Center, Florida. The report details the instrumentation used to produce gyro-interaction and measure its effects in the surrounding D-region of the ionosphere. (Author)
