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]
gollark: Median might not actually be the right term either, but it's probably close enough.
gollark: There are two *medians*. There are not two *means*. This is why I said "mean" and not "average" a lot.
gollark: Sure. What is that modelling?
gollark: But in most cases they are motivated by real world examples of some kind.
gollark: Probability distributions are just functions, and you can define functions with all kinds of fun properties even if they aren't actually things you would likely encounter in real life.
