U of I PDP aids future space communication idea
University of Iowa physicist Stanley Shawhan announced findings from the Plasma Diagnostics Package aboard the space shuttle Columbia. The PDP detected electromagnetic waves from an onboard electron generator and measured upper atmosphere gases and shuttle operation. Shawhan proposed using an electron beam to carry interspacecraft messages, noting the shuttle produced less interference than expected and that PDP will be refitted for a second shuttle flight in November 1984.
