Scientific paper

Observations of radio wave ionization due to telemetry emissions in the upper stratosphere and lower mesosphere during a flight of a parachute-borne drop-sonde mass spectrometer probe, DROPMAS, are reported. The results indicate that in the 52-61 km altitude range, P-band radio waves cause ionization of atmospheric gases in the vicinity of the vehicle. Computer simulation studies confirm the experimental results, and suggest that the radio wave propagation may also cause electron impact-induced molecular excitation of molecules and atoms.
