Scientific paper

Several AMPS experiments involving the release of gases from the Spacelab are discussed. The principal features of the Shuttle which are utilized are its weight-carrying capacity of 1000's of kg and the large kinetic energy associated with its orbital velocity of 7.8 km/s. Ionospheric modification experiments are stressed as opposed to tracer or seeding experiments. The principal experiments discussed briefly are: ionospheric conductivity modification by either barium thermite releases or dual high-velocity releases; neutral wind generation of electric fields; acoustic-gravity-wave generation; whistler-duct formation in the plasmasphere; a test of Alfven's critical velocity hypothesis; and the creation of an artificial comet. The conceptual bases of the experiments are emphasized rather than their detailed scientific justification.
