Description
Summary:It is scheduled that two sounding rockets are launched from Syowa Station, Antarctica in the austral winter of 1985 as part of the international Middle Atmosphere Program (MAP), by the wintering party of the 26th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition. This experiment aims at the study of the wave-particle interaction processes on auroral field lines. The present paper gives an outline of the mission plan of the experiment
