The University of Iowa has a long history of space exploration, beginning with the first satellite observations with Van Allen’s Explorer 1 instrument and extending to nearly all the planets and beyond. This talk by Dr. William S. Kurth (Dept. of Physics & Astronomy) will focus on Voyager and some of the science that twin spacecraft mission is acquiring in the interstellar medium and the extraordinary lengths being taken by the flight team at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory to keep the Voyagers operating (47 years). He’ll also briefly discuss a much younger mission, Juno, exploring Jupiter. Despite Jupiter’s intense radiation environment, Juno is nearing completion of a four-year mission extension.
