Abstract
An experiment to measure ionospheric electron densities based upon the detection of permittivity changes in a parallel plate capacitor is discussed briefly, together with a method of determining electron temperatures based on the comparison of differential currents to identical probes. The application of these techniques to the Ariel III satellite and some preliminary results are also described.Keywords
