Proceedings of the Summer Equatorial Experiment Data Review Meeting, 18 March 1980,

Abstract

A rocket-borne probe experiment was conducted at Kwajalein Atoll in August 1979. The probes were launched into nighttime spread F to penetrate a 'plume' or depleted region. The probe payloads carried a pair of electron density probes, an E-field sensor, an ion mass spectrometer, and a four-frequency RF beacon. Two probes were launched: the first probe was successful even though the C-band tracking beacon failed, and in the second probe, the rf-beacon experiment was unsuccessful because the payload and rocket second stage failed to separate. These proceedings report the results of data analysis through June 1980. (Author)
