The NASA EQUIS-2 rocket campaign was conducted in August-September 2004 from USAKA/RTS on Roi-Namur, Marshall Islands (9 N, 168 E). One part of the program was dedicated to neutral and plasma density fluctuations in the equatorial mesosphere and lower thermosphere. The objective was to detect layers of small scale structures that can be associated with mesospheric VHF radar echoes observed frequently at equatorial and low latitudes. One instrumented rocket and three passive falling spheres were launched successfully on September 20, 2004, supported by ALTAIR UHF radar observing incoherent backscatter from ~85-700 km. We give an overview of the investigation and present first results that include the comparison of in situ and radar electron density profiles, neutral temperature and wind structure, and characteristics of neutral and electron fluctuation layers.
