Pm. Nagorskii et Si. Kozlov, Ionospheric disturbances produced by the explosion of the Soyuz launcher in the middle atmosphere, COSM RES, 38(4), 2000, pp. 342-347
The data on wave disturbances in the ionosphere caused by the failure launc
h (explosion) of the Soyuz launching vehicle on May 14, 1996 (detected expe
