The ability to communicate through a plasma during planetary entry is determined primarily by the interaction of electromagnetic waves with the plasma free electrons, and therefore an experimental technique has been developed for measuring rate constants of electron attaching reactions as well as ionmolecule reactions in plasma at 2000 - 3000 grad k. A brief survey of experimental techniques for measuring electron attachment rate constants at lower temperatures is also given, together with a comparison of these rate constants and present high-temperature values.
