TL;DR: Electron and plasma beams and neutral gas plumes were injected into the space environment by instruments on Spacelab 1, and various diagnostic measurements including television camera observations were performed.

TL;DR: In this paper, observations from the SEPAC (Space Experiments with Particle Accelerators) experiment on Spacelab 1 Shuttle mission of waves generated during electron beam emissions are presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, an impulsive high-density plasma was injected from the orbiter, waves near the lower hybrid frequency were enhanced, and the surrounding gas drifting with the Orbiter was ionized for several tens of milliseconds after the plasma injection.

TL;DR: An ignition of beam plasma discharge (BPD) in space was observed in a neutral gas-electron beam interaction experiment by Space Shuttle/Spacelab-1 in 1983 as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The Atlas-1 Spacelab payload's Space Experiments with Particle Accelerators generated artificial electron beams for the stimulation of auroral emissions at southern auroral latitudes as discussed by the authors.
