Abstract
A considerable increase in the intensity of the telemetric signal radiated from the MR 12 sounding rocket surrounded by an artificial RF discharge plasma envelope was detected in the “Aktivny Shnur” ionospheric experiment in February 1991. The experimental data are presented and their interpretation is given.
