The active experiment “Electron” is applied for the electron beam injection from a meteorologcal rocket in the ionosphere plasma. The beam is injected in the ionosphere plasma at a current of 0.5 A and an energy of 6.5—8 keV. The energy spectrum measurements are given for the plasma electrons and ions. The radio-wave spectrum is measured in a RF frequency range of 100—500 MHz. The radio wave tracing through the electron beam injection region is discussed. The laboratory experiments are performed at the electron beam injection in a rare gas to produce a modeling of the active in outer space experiments.
