This paper reports results of an improved model of “ionospheric hole” caused by rocket exhaust injected into the F-region. We have investigated a practical “ionospheric hole” model by which a proper strategy of rocket launch can be examined from a view point of protection of the Earth’s environment. The analytical results of preceding models were published about 8 years ago. The model well included the trajectory of launch rocket and could evaluate the effect of rocket exhaust on the Earth’s environment for various trajectories. The analytical results, however, didn’t quantitatively agree with the observation data very well. The new model includes the effects of the exhaust velocity of effluents and the neutral wind that preceding model didn’t take into account, and the boundary conditions and parameters are improved. The analytical results by this improved model well agree with the observation data for Skylab–I and HEAO–C launching experiments not only qualitatively but also quantitatively.
