The description of the equipment used according to the program of rocket sensing of electrical characteristics inside thunderstorm clouds in the Caucasus, with which the profiles of the three components of the electric field intensity in the cloud were measured, taking into account the influence of electrification currents flowing on the rocket probe in the thundercloud and the electric charge accumulated on it, is given. The coordinates of the trajectory of the sounding of the thunder cloud were measured and tied to the synchronously recorded radio echo of this cloud. Much attention was paid to justifying the reliability of measurements when creating a rocket probe. The description of one experiment on rocket sounding of the thunderstorm cloud is given as an example.
