Scientific paper

Measurements of antenna reactance from a sounding rocket travelling through the ionosphere show variations related to the rocket spin period. The observed variations can be resolved into components with periodic time structure equal to the spin period, half the spin period, or a mixture of these. The relative importance of these components depends on the experiment configuration and the flight trajectory as well as on the magnetoionic parameters. To account for the observations, it is necessary to take into consideration the response of an antenna to the magnetoionic medium and to the disturbance produced in the ambient plasma by the rocket motion. Examples of the plasma distribution about the rocket, as inferred from the antenna reactance measurements, are shown and discussed.
