SPACE SCIENCES ARTICLES

• Deep Space One: Preparing for Space Exploration in the 21st Century [Earth in Space, January, 1999]
• Pager Satellite Failure May Have Been Related to Disturbed Space Environment [Earth in Space, September, 1998]
• NEAR Swings by Earth en Route to Eros [Earth in Space, September, 1998]
• Scientists Track Solar Event All the Way to Earth [Earth in Space, January, 1998].
• The Mars Pathfinder Mission - [compiled from Eos articles]
• Workshop Focuses on Space Weather's Impact on Electrical Power - [Eos, May 27, 1997].
• Geomagnetic Storms Can Threaten Electric Power Grid - The sprawling North American power grid resembles a large antenna, attracting electrical currents induced by giant solar storms. Severe space weather occurring during solar cycles has the potential to cause a large-scale blackout in North America. [Earth in Space, March, 1997].
• Life on Mars? Clues from a Special Martian Meteorite - A meteorite that made its way from Mars to Antarctica is stirring controversy among scientists. [Earth in Space, January, 1997]
• Meteorites From Mars - [Earth in Space, January, 1997]
• Strides Made in Understanding Space Weather at Earth - [Eos, January 7, 1997].
• Interplanetary Weathering: Surface Erosion in Outer Space - What happens to bare rock and icy surfaces when they lie exposed to the interplanetary space environment for millions of years? This fundamental question is, of course, very difficult to answer, but planetary geologists and field and particle physicists are working together to do so. [Earth in Space, September 1996]
• Fleet of Satellites and Ground-Based Instruments Probes the Sun-Earth System [Eos. April 16, 1996]
• The Life and Times of a Premier Space Physicist - Nobel Prize recipient Hannes Alfvén first discovered his passion for science as a high school student in Sweden. Throughout his career he made a number of theoretical findings that established magnetohydrodynamics—the study of the behavior of space plasma—as a field of research. [Earth in Space. January 1996]
• Reflecting on the Findings of the Ulysses Spacecraft - Ulysses has been very successful in exploring the solar wind, the magnetic field carried out from the Sun by the solar wind, and the arrival of cosmic radiation. Some predictions have been confirmed and some surprises have been encountered [Eos. July 25, 1995]
• Link Found Between Solar Neutrino Flux and Solar Wind - New correlation in particle astrophysics [Eos. April 18, 1995]
• Mission Investigates Radiation Arriving at Earth [Eos. March 15, 1994]
