Abstract

The ISY-METS (International Space Year-Microwave Energy Transmission in Space) rocket experiment was promoted by the SPS (Solar Power Satellite) Working Group of the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS) in Japan. The ISY-METS is an advanced version of our previous MINIX rocket experiment. Its purposes are to verify a newly developed microwave energy transmission system for space use and to study nonlinear effects of the microwave energy beam in the ionospheric plasma environment. The S-520-16 sounding rocket carrying instruments for the ISY-METS was successfully launched at 16 : 00 on February 18,1993 from the Kagoshima Space Center of the ISAS. All the instruments functioned perfectly. A high power microwave of about 800 W was transmitted by a newly developed active phased array antenna installed on a mother section of the rocket payload accurately toward a separated daughter one. The wave observation in the HF range indicated that natural plasma waves are enhanced by the microwave energy through nonlinear interactions.
