Plasma disturbances observed in the ionosphere in the vicinity of a highly charged space vehicle
Technical Report

OSTI ID:6903379
A mother-daughter rocket code named MAIMIK was launched from Andoya Rocket Range on November 10, 1985, near 20.0 local time. The daughter carried an electron accelerator, and a series of plasma diagnostic instruments were installed both on the daughter and the trailing mother. The main aims of the experiment were to investigate (i) beam-plasma interaction processes in the ionosphere, (ii) occurrence of DC and AC electric fields generated by the beam, and (iii) charging and neutralization of the vehicles.
