Ionospheric Aerodynamic Related to Satellites and Space Vehicles.

Abstract

This report summarizes an investigation of the behavior of the ionospheric plasma at high altitudes and especially the onset and growth of disturbances due to the many kinds of instabilities inherently present in the nonhomogeneous plasma. Furthermore the nonlinear interactions among particles and waves are thoroughly studied.
