Space Plasma Physics
Particles & Imaging Research Group

This is The University of Iowa,
Department of Physics & Astronomy,
Space Plasma Physics Research Group led by
Dr. Louis A. Frank.
The research group is situated in Van Allen Hall on The University of
Iowa Main Campus in
Iowa City,
Iowa, USA. Van Allen Hall is named
after Dr. James A. Van Allen, a leading
pioneer in Space Plasma Physics Research. His instruments were the very
first flown in space by US rockets in the early days of the space
program, including Explorer 1 which
was the United States' first successful orbiting satellite. It made
measurements that lead to the discovery of the two highly charged
particle, or radiation regions which encircle Earth. These were later
named in his honor as the Van Allen Radiation Belts.
