Scientific paper

Two payloads (mother-daughter) connected by a tether were launched by sounding rocket to study the interactions between the electron beam and the environment for various boundary conditions and to study the physical processes associated with the neutralization of electrically charged vehicles in an ionospheric plasma. The daughter payload carried an accelerator which emitted pulses of electrons of 8 keV energies. The rocket instruments and results related to vehicle charging and neutralization are summarized. Results indicate extremely high charging of the daughter (several kV) for beam current greater than or = 80 mA. The reason may be the low plasma density (10 billion/cu m) in the F region during the experiment.
