Abstract
This article describes a controlled method of investigating the trapping of particles in the Earth's magnetosphere. Instruments in the separated nose cone of a rocket have been used to detect electromagnetic radiation from electrons injected into the magnetosphere from the rocket and magnetically reflected.
