Van Allen Probes Yet Unravel Radiation Belt Mysteries
Iowa City scientist Dr. James A. Van Allen marks ten years since Explorer 1 as he and associates at the State University of Iowa pursue questions about the outer Van Allen belt. The Injun 5 satellite, built in Iowa, will study the sources and behavior of high altitude radiation, whistler radio waves, and low energy particles to refine knowledge of space weather and protect future spaceflight.
