Synthetic Observations of High-Latitude Ionosphere by S-310JA-4 Sounding Rocket

A comprehensively instrumented S-310JA-4 sounding rocket was launched into a ray band type auroral region from Syowa Station in Antarctica at 0032 (UT) on August 18,1978,in order to study mechanisms of high-latitude ionospheric disturbances, specifically to clarify the mechanism of ionospheric irreg...

Description
Summary:A comprehensively instrumented S-310JA-4 sounding rocket was launched into a ray band type auroral region from Syowa Station in Antarctica at 0032 (UT) on August 18,1978,in order to study mechanisms of high-latitude ionospheric disturbances, specifically to clarify the mechanism of ionospheric irreguralities in the aurora such as two-stream, cross-field and ion cyclotron instabilities. Payload instrumentations and ground-based observations corresponding to the mission objectives are discussed. All payloads functioned successfully and a general view of obtained data is also briefly outlined.
