| Abstract: | 'This paper describes two areas of scientific research that would eventually be pursued using satellites and space probes: Studies of the properties and astrophysical significance of cosmic rays, and studies of the electrical and magnetic properties of near-earth space. The paper centers on the pre-Spudnik activities of two of the earliest university-based investigators to respond to the challenge of using space technology for scientific research in these areas [John A. Simpson at the University of Chicago and James A. Van Allen at the University of Iowa].' |
