Data obtained during the second launch of the ARAKS (02.15.1975) regarding wave measurements over a frequency range of 0.1-5.0 MHz, are analyzed and compared with data of the first launch. Results indicate that the difference was mainly attributable to a difference in the rocket flight trajectory planes, the first directed toward the magnetic North, and the second toward the magnetic East. The maximum whistler mode spectra was seen in the 650 kHz vicinity for the second launch, while 150 kHz were recorded during the first. The plasma mode frequency (East launch) showed average levels of signals at receiver input of 0.5-1 mV, which slightly exceeded the level of the plasma mode in the North launch (about 200 micron V). Bernstein modes spectra showed emissions in the vicinity of electron gyrofrequency harmonics which exceeded those of the local plasma frequency, and several phenomena have been observed during electron injection pauses correlated with electron gun operation.
