Scientific paper

Measurements from the ionospheric sounding rocket POLEWARD LEAP have been analyzed in order to study the nature of wake phenomena. Some outstanding events, which apparently resulted from the interaction between the incoming particles and the F-layer plasma, are discussed. It is shown that the suprathermal electron fluxes observed during the auroral particle precipitation were clearly spin modulated, and that they usually occurred in the wake region of the rocket. In addition, background measurements of both the auroral particle precipitation and the ambient plasma are presented.
