Radiophysical and Geomagnetic Effects of Rocket Burn and Launch in the Near-the-Earth Environment

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the environmental impacts caused by rocket launches, detailing both theoretical and experimental findings. Radiophysical and Geomagnetic Effects of Rocket Burn and Launch in the Near-the-Earth Environment serves as an essential resource for scientists and students alike.

This book delves into the experimental and theoretical investigations surrounding the impacts of rocket burns and launches on the near-Earth environment and geomagnetic fields, specifically within altitudes ranging from 1,000 to 10,000 kilometers. It provides an in-depth examination of the disturbances in plasma, as well as the surrounding magnetic and electric fields, resulting from these activities conducted at various global space centers.

Radiophysical and Geomagnetic Effects of Rocket Burn and Launch in the Near-the-Earth Environment highlights the significant geophysical and radiophysical phenomena that affect the ionosphere and magnetosphere during rocket or cosmic apparatus launches. The book sheds light on the ecological implications of these space exploration activities, detailing the methods that can be employed to mitigate the adverse effects associated with them.

The research presented within includes a wide array of radiophysical methodologies, such as HF Doppler radar, incoherent and coherent scatter radar systems, microwave radar, magnetometers, and optical instrumentation. The analysis spans rocket burn and launch events from 1975 to 2010, making it a valuable reference for geophysics and radiophysics scientists, rocket launching specialists, and ecologists. Furthermore, it serves as a comprehensive handbook for graduate and postgraduate students pursuing studies in physics and cosmic sciences at the university level.
