Abstract

One of the three rockets of the ECOMA 2008 campaign was intended to be launched into a situation without PMSE or NLC. Also the ionospheric conditions during that flight were very quiet, but unexpectedly a sporadic E-layer was observed during upleg, which was no
longer present on downleg. The existence of the layer prior to the rocket launch was confirmed by the Tromsø ionosonde some 120 km away, but is also supported by the meteor observations with the ALWIN VHF-radar at the Andøya Rocket Range. Data from two plasma
probes, a radio wave propagation experiment and the photo-electron channel of the ECOMA particle detector registered clear signatures at 109 km, whereas optical measurements do not show any discernible features. The sporadic layer is put in context with comparable
observations, and its effect on the ECOMA instrument is tentatively explained
