Abstract
A new method is suggested for the evaluation of the electron density profile in the outer ionosphere above the F2-layer maximum. It is proposed that the satellite will carry a sweep-frequency transmitter, for frequencies above the maximum plasma frequency of the F2-layer. An analytical method is suggested by which the electron density profile above maximum F2-layer could be found from the time delay records at the ground station and the electron density profile below the maximum F2-layer. In the analysis it is assumed that corrections due to satellite orbit have been made, and that the static geomagnetic field is homogeneous in the region.
