A high-altitude electrostatic probe experiment is described and data are presented for three RAM C reentries at velocities of approximately 25 OOO feet per second. The electron density profiles inferred from the probe measurements are compared with theoretical calculations, and the probable cause of significant disagreement is briefly discussed. Probe measurements during material-addition sequences for radio-blackout alleviation are presented, and comparisons of probe measurements with other pertinent diagnostic measurements are made.
