Scientific paper

A Spacelab experiment is proposed for the purpose of determining whether the critical ionization velocity exists in space in a manner analogous to the velocity indicated by laboratory experiments. Alfven's model is considered in a theoretical discussion of the problem. The space experiment is thought to be attractive because of Spacelab's high orbital velocity and because Spacelab will travel through a large uniform plasma.
