Evidence for the existence of negatively charged aerosols/dust in PMSE/NLC regions has been obtained by the unique combination of rocket probes flown during the DROPPS Program. Simultaneous current measurements of charged aerosols, ions, and electrons were accomplished by using a configuration of blunt probes, Gerdien condenser, and DC Langmuir probe. The two blunt probes, with different fixed-bias voltages to discriminate the collection of mobile charge carriers, consistently demonstrated the presence of impacting negatively charged aerosols. Their occurrence coincided with an electron bite-out, thus confirming the associated loss process as aerosol attachment.
