The PLACES ionospheric plasma test series investigated the effect of a structured ionosphere plasma (similar to that produced by a high-altitude nuclear explosion) on satellite navigation and communication systems, and provided in situ measurements of the plasma. This report discusses the aeroballistic characteristics of the PLACES Terrier-Tomahawk 9 rocket systems, including barium/barium-nitrate carriers, beacon vehicles (for plasma-occultation experiments), and probe vehicles (for in situ plasma measurement). The drifting-plasma tracking and the beacon and probe-vehicle targeting procedures are presented with vehicle flight test and experimental results. The test series consisted of four separate barium releases (each on a different day), two beacon vehicle launches, and one probe vehicle launch. The PLACES test series was sponsored by the Defense Nuclear Agency.
