Abstract

A review of the ionosphere disturbances created by burning rockets is given. Published materials obtained by different authors are used in the review. Contemporary ionospheric data (f0 E, f0 F1, f0 F2, h'F, fmin, f0 Es) of ionosonde measurements obtained at the Alma-Ata [43.25N, 76.92E] and Novokazalinsk [45.77N, 62.12E] sounding stations taken for the time of rocket launching from Baikonur (Kazakhstan) in the periods of 1975, 1979 and October 2000-November 2001 are also analysed.The main characteristics of such disturbances seem to be the deficiency of electrons and strongly disturbed ionosphere structures (strong wave-like disturbances in electron density) occurring along the trajectory of burning rockets, which modify the propagation of radio waves.
