A parachute-borne gridded spherical probe has been used to measure the total positive ion density. Two launches were made using Soviet M-100 rockets, on April 22 and 29, 1987, at 1200 UT, from an equatorial station, Thumba (8 deg N, 76 deg E) India. Data were obtained for the altitude region 10 to 80 km. A broad maximum around 15 km and a broad minimum around 60 km have been notice in the ion current profiles obtained in both flights. The theory of the operation of the probe has been fiven. A detailed discussion of the results obtained has also been included.
