Abstract
The following material is based closely on a joint status report prepared by the US Atomic Energy Commission, Department of Defense, and National Aeronautics and Space Administration concerning the geomagnetically trapped electrons from the Starfish high‐altitude nuclear test. The test involved a nuclear device in the megaton yield range detonated in the ionosphere at an altitude of hundreds of kilometers in the vicinity of Johnston Island (17.0° N, 191.7° E), in the Pacific Ocean, at 0900 UT, July 9, 1962.
