Description
Summary:The large-scale disturbances in ionospheric plasma produced by space vehicle launches from Baikonur cosmodrome are analyzed with the incoherent scatter technique experimental data given. Also, within the heights of ~ 100÷600 km, are analyzed the height-time dependencies of such major plasma parameters as electron density N,and electron and ion temperatures Te and Ti. The space vehicle launches and flights are shown to be accompanied by the generated wave-like disturbances (WLD) not only of N but of Te and Ti as well. The WLD relative amplitudes are found to be usually within 0.03÷0.10, the oscillation period being 20 to 60 min. The N, Te and Ti oscillations are shown to be lagged. The WLD propagation velocities equal ~ 0.5÷0.6 and 1.5÷2 km/s. Modern spectral analysis techniques, the wave-let analysis including, were used to estimate WLD parameters.
