Prof participated in Voyager I
By GUELMA ANDERSON Staff Reporter
Thomas Armstrong, professor of physics and astronomy and faculty adviser for the Ad Astra L-5 Society, knows first hand about the achievements that the United States has made in space.
His research contributed to the success of the space flight of Voyager I
IN 1972, ARMSTRONG, along with six other scientists, proposed a radiation experiment for the Voyager to visit Jupiter in 1979, and it was accepted.
He said that they designed an instrument that identified the different types of radiation around Jupiter and that the radiation's direction and speed
The experiment discovered an invisible plasma envelope, which is a mass of free electrons around Jupiter between 350 to 500 million degrees, beats the
The purpose of the Voyager flights, Armstrong said, was to solve the mysteries of Earth.
WHEN WE ARE BETTER able to understand how the Earth and its

sister planets originated, this will let us understand more about the parts of the Earth that we don't have access to, such as its interior.
"We only sample a tiny Fraction of the Earth — the mere crust. You drill a hole one mile deep and you think you've got something, but the Earth is hollow."
"If you really want to know what the chemistry of the core is all about, you have to find out what other planets are made of."
He said that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration planned more Voyager flights in 1986 and 1989 to Uranus and Neptune
respectively, and that in 1986 one mission, Galileo, will go to Jupiter.
"Recently there's been a flurry of excitement about whether Galileo is adequately designed to survive the universe's surrounds, Jupiter, Amstrom said.
"They are worried that the radiation will come through and strike the computer chips that stores the data controlling the space craft.
"We have been called upon to make some re-analyses of our Jupiter data from the Voyager flight to shed light on this question."
ARMSTRONG HAS BEEN involved with the U.S. space program since his apprenticeship at the University of Iowa in 1962.
"I always had a great interest in science fiction, astronomy and space exploration, but I was more interested in space.
"I was building rockets in high school. There was little question in my mind that I wanted to do scientific things."
"THEY'RE NOT SUCCESSFUL by blind luck or magic. It's the fact that people worry about all of the things that can go wrong and try to assess them. I'm impressed with this."13
Space Week to lift-off tomorrow
By MICHAEL PAUL
Staff Reporter
The countdown continues toward tomorrow's model rocket launch at 23rd and Iowa streets that will begin the celebration of national Space Week.
The nine-day observance coincides with the dates of the first manned flight.
The launch of the model rockets is one of several events planned by the Ad Astra L-5 Society, a campus organization that promotes scientific exploration.
IN APRIL THE Kansas Legislature approved a resolution that declared July 16-24 of each year as Kansas Space Observance and July 20, the date of the first manned landing on the moon; as Space Exploration Day.
Although in the past two years all 50 states have issued Space Week proclamations, Kansas is the first state to declare a permanent commemorative holiday.
AD ASTRA is the KU-Lawrence chapter of the national L-5 Society and has about 45 members, said William Communications coordinator for Ad Astra.

He said that space could be a source of raw materials that were of a limited supply on Earth. Asteroids, he said, are rocky bodies that could be used in construction.
L-5. Adams said, means "Lagrange libration point 5" and it refers to a point in the moon's orbit. Because of the Earth-moon gravitational pull, an object placed in orbit around L-5 is likely to be held in that orbit and, Adams said, would be an appropriate spot for a space colony.
