Data collected by the incoherent scatter radar facility at Arecibo during the launch of the fourth Space Shuttle mission (STS 4) on June 27, 1982 revealed an appearance, shortly after launch, of a long-lived large-amplitude traveling ionospheric disturbance wave train. The source region of the disturbance was determined to be along the initial 70 km of the flight path, where about 70 percent of the propellants were expended. The results of observations demonstrate that high-thrust launch vehicles are a convenient source of large-amplitude atmospheric waves, offering an opportunity to study the propagation characteristics of atmospheric waves under known conditions.
