Scientific paper

Electrostatic analyzers aboard the Vertikal'-10 rocket (launched on December 25, 1981 at 22.35 MLT) detected fluxes of cold ions moving from the midlatitude plasmasphere to the ionosphere at night at L = 2. The flux velocity was observed to be approximately 1000 m/s, and the flux density was (0.8-4.0) x 10 to the 8th/sq cm s. Discrepancies between theoretical predictions and experimental observations of the flux values are discussed, and it is noted that the measured fluxes from the plasmasphere are sufficient for sustaining the nighttime ionosphere.
