A sounding rocket payload instrumented in order to inject and observe energetic electron fluxes in the ionospheric plasma was flown from Ft. Churchill into a bright auroral display on 9 April 1978. Measurements of one throw-away detector in three energy channels at 1.9, 4 and 8 keV are discussed in order to relate the observed electron echoes to the prevailing geophysical conditions.
