Scientific paper

The Stimulated Emission of Energetic Particles experiment has obtained data yielding the first direct observations of the precipitation of radiation belt electrons by the controlled injection of VLF signals from a ground-based transmitter. Four additional modulated events are presently reported (out of 65 satellite passes) when one of the VLF transmitters at Cutler, Maine, or Annapolis, Maryland was being modulated in a 3 sec on/2 sec off format. During each of these events, precipitating electron fluxes displayed a characteristic time behavior with respect to the transmitter modulation, consisting of a relatively slow rate of increase after the start of the on period, leading to a maximum about 2 sec later. Comparisons are made between the absolute precipitating electron fluxes observed during normal transmitter operation and those recorded when one of those transmitters was modulated.
