Iowa Scientist Key in Cosmic Ray Balloon Tests
The Navy launched balloons the size of 10 story buildings from the icebreaker Eastwind off Ellesmere Island to study cosmic rays near the geomagnetic pole. Dr James A Van Allen of the University of Iowa led the tests with two Iowa City colleagues aboard. Rockets carried geiger counters and ionization chambers and fed data back for analysis while high altitude photography equipment landed near Greenland. Snowstorms delayed recovery of gear and a reward was offered for its return.
