Abstract--A manuscript describing the steady-state interaction of the outer belt with the atmosphere has been prepared. A team of investigators with developed rocket payloads has been assembled and an Expression of Intent to investigate this interaction with rocket flights from Halley Bay, Antarctica has been submitted to the Coordinating Board of the International Polar Year (IPY). A proposal to develop an electron/X ray detector for the rocket payload has been submitted to NASA. The goals of this proposal have been attained to the extent possible.
