Scientific paper

The proposed techniques for determining mean ion and electron 'drift' motions uses plates set flush with sounding rocket or satellite exterior surface. It is known that mean ion current flow is detected only because the floating potential of the vehicle is normally negative with respect to the plasma potential. Measurement of mean electron drift motions involves holding the plates slightly positive with respect to the medium. An experimental study using the technique is reported, and it is suggested that the experimental data support the validity of the technique.
