The data obtained in the most recent Japan-US tether rocket experiment CHARGE 2 have been further analyzed. The interaction of the moving tether system across the geomagnetic field with the ionospheric plasma can be explained by a simple model of the current through a plasma. The response of the tether system when a high voltage is applied is studied and 500 volts could be applied without any appreciable discharge. The detected signal of the wave excited by an application of high voltage between the mother and daughter rocket and by a pulse modulated electron beam is also studied.
