Scientific paper

The variation of ion current depletion in the wake of the U.S. Air Force satellite S3-2 is quantitatively determined, taking into account altitudes in the range from 300 to 1100 km. The considered investigation has the objective to present results which besides of being of scientific interest per se are useful to the planning of future experiments of body-plasma electrodynamic interactions in a supersonic and sub-Alfvenic flow regime to be conducted on board the Shuttle/Spacelab. More specifically, it is expected that the outcome of investigations of the kind presented will be useful in the planning of instrument location on ejectable ensembles of probes and on the Orbiter itself in future Shuttle/Spacelab missions.
