Since space mission success depends heavily upon radio frequency link with Earth, the characteristics of plasma as a propagation medium are vital in telecommunication system design. This paper presents general discussion and develops an analytic methodology to identify propagation difficulties and anomalies caused by characteristic plasma behavior. A typical space mission requirement is outlined, values of pertinent environmental parameters are obtained or estimated, and the results are compared with observed data and the correlations discussed.
