| Abstract: | Results obtained with rocket-borne nose tip probes which measured the full current/voltage characteristics by linearly sweeping the probe's driving potential between positive and negative against the rocket's body as a reference suggest that such probes work in the middle atmosphere as mobility probes. It was found that the electron current depends upon positive ion composition in the sheath of the probe and rather strongly upon ambient air temperature. |
