I was actually a freshman student and astronomy major of Dr. James Van
Allen at the University of Iowa in 1977 when these were launched (two years
prior my first Healey ownership) . The U of I had on some test packages, a
plasma wave detector as I recall on board. Dr. Van Allen had a big role in
these two spacecraft. In 1978, I took an advanced graduate level
electronics course from a Dr, Shahan in the U of Iowa physics dept. , who
did a lot of the electronics on the packages that were sent into deep space.
In 1989, I went to a symposium at the U of I on the Voyager spacecraft.
They had a 3/D presentation the probes intercepting planet and moons. It
was fascinating back then.
