Deskripsi
The S-210JA-20 and 21 rockets were launched into auroras at 2340 UT on June 24, 1976 and at 0023 UT on July 26, 1976, respectively. Both rockets were launched when the ISIS satellite was passing overhead near Syowa Station. In this report the scientific subject of these experiments is described first and the relation-ship among VLF waves recorded simultaneously at the three different altitudes (the ground, ～60-120 km, and ～1000-3000 km) is briefly discussed. The relation of VLF waves and electrostatic plasma waves in the 0.1-10 MHz range measured on the rockets to precipitating electrons is also summarized.
