Papers from the conference are presented and cover the following topics: ion and electron beams; ionospheric modification; spacecraft interactions; chemical releases; and plasma waves. Auroras and plasma emissions are reported from electron beam injection experiments on the EXCEDE 3 rocket and APEX satellite respectively. The important parameters affecting the charging of spacecraft during the operation of electron guns is covered. The Active Magnetospheric Particle Acceleration Satellite (AMPAS) mission utilizing dual-payload tethered satellites and both up and downward directed electron beams is proposed to study the magnetosphere. Recent results and associated theories from the Sura, Arecibo and Troms ionospheric heating facitlites are presented. The effects of neutral gases on spacecraft charging are examined in a series of rocket flights. Many results from the Combined Release and Radiation Effects Satellite chemical release experiments are presented.
