Radio Astronomy Experiment Selection Panel Subunit

Description

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the California Institute of Technology Jet Propulsion Laboratory jointly agreed that the specialized facilities of JPL's Deep Space Network (DSN) be made available to support a modest program of ground-based radio science by qualified experimenters of the U.S. radio astronomy community. In April 1969, the Radio Astronomy Experiment Selection Panel was formed, comprised of individuals in radio astronomy and associated fields. The Panel was charged with selecting experiments which would take particular advantage of the unique DSN capabilities. This subunit includes correspondence, reports, meeting agendas and minutes, observing proposals and evaluations, and other materials gathered by Hein Hvatum during his tenure on the Panel, chaired at the time by Jesse Greenstein. Materials are dated 1969-1973.
