Launching experiments

In 1985, an MR-20 mclcorological rocket was used from the North Atlantic in a Soviet-Polish experiment adapting an ion gun to inject lithium ions into the ionosphere. [3]

In September 1988, 3 MR-20 rocket experiments with artificial "electron hole" formations took place in the Northern Auroral Zone on the research vessel named "Professor Vize". The launchings of MR-20 rockets were to examine the upper atmospheric and ionospheric characteristics in the Auroral. [4]
