Development and Application of Electrical and Mechanical Prototype Instruments for Space Environment Studies.

Abstract

The following pertinent studies are detailed by the four authors: Variations in the characteristics of the low energy thermal plasma of the plasmasphere, seasonal and day-night changes and their effect on ionospheric F region; ionospheric scintillation studies at high latitudes and equatorial regions. Need of development of suitable instrumentation as evidenced in STP Satellite Program, Aeolus Rockets, DMSP Satellite, Scatha. (Author)
