Abstract
A method is proposed for measuring the electron density at known points in the outer ionosphere, by the use of vlf receiving equipment in an artificial satellite, in conjunction with a vlf transmitter on the ground. The transmitter would radiate continuous waves, which would be propagated through the ionosphere in the whistler mode. The basis of the method is a measurement of the local wave admittunce of the medium, by comparison of the signals received on an electric dipole and on a loop. A proposal is made for an integrated vlf satellite experiment, in which several different types of observation would be made simultaneously. (auth)
