What is Electrostatic Probe Measurements in Reentry about?

The document summarizes electrostatic probe measurements of plasma parameters from two reentry spacecraft flights at 25,000 feet per second. Probes measured positive ion density profiles at various distances from the vehicle surface and altitudes between 85-53 km. Densities ranged from 108-1012 electrons/cm3. Comparisons are made between measured profiles and theoretical calculations, and correlations found with water injection experiments and vehicle motions.
