Scientific paper

Results of plasma measurements form the ionospheric sounding rocket MAIMIK are reported. Data obtained by high-resolution plasma probes show distinct 'classical' wake signatures during the entire flight. That is, the electron temperature was enhanced 'behind' the rocket in a region where both the electron and ion density were well below the ambient values. In addition, electron temperature enhancements were also detected in the ram ('forward') direction on the downleg. The measurements are presented and discussed in relation to the prevailing ionospheric conditions.
