| 内容記述 | The Orbital Maneuvering Subsystem engines of the Space Shuttle were used to inject H2, CO2, H2O and other combustion products into the upper atmosphere over the Arecibo Observatory. Images of the airglow enhancements that resulted from chemical reactions between the exhaust gases and the F-layer plasma showed that the exhaust vapor trail came to rest 80 km downstream from the center of the burn. A computer simulation of the gas dynamics shows that the region of the burn was dominated by a 'snow plow' effect sweeping out a corridor in the atmosphere and collisionally heating the injected vapors. |
