Now called V-2 Upper Atmosphere Research Panel. 4 Nov. 46 ESL 28 Jan. 47 NRL 25 Mar. 47 PF JRDB requests long-range plans from panel. 7 May 47 APL 3 July 47 WSPG 1 Oct. 47 GE 13 29 Dec. 47 Chi. Aerobee test firings have started. Panel promotes symposium on high-altitude physical research by rockets, to be held at American Physical Society meetings in Chicago, 29-31 Dec. 1947. Krause resigns; Van Allen elected chairman. Office of Chief of Ordnance proposes panel consider broadening its scope. Van Allen has been using Aerobees fired from shipboard to extend geographic coverage of his research. Viking development is under way, and a first firing has been made. 26 Oct. 49 NRL 23 14 Feb. 50 APL Panel plans a coordinated set of high-altitude temperature experiments. Sydney Chapman, British scientist, attends. Future research requirements and need for higher altitude vehicles considered. Panel begins discussions that lead to publication of panel paper on properties of upper atmosphere in Physical Review. Panel conducts seminar on properties of atmosphere at high altitudes. Panel has been giving extensive consideration to sounding rocket firings at other locations than White Sands; Fort Churchill, Canada, is one of the possibilities being considered. Panel plans to accept invitation from Gassiot Committee to join symposium on upper atmosphere at Oxford in August 1953. Van Allen reports on use of balloon-launched rockets, called Rockoons. Panel is planning a symposium on rocket ionospheric studies. Panel is going in depth into plans for coordinated northern latitude firings. Panel reviews results of international symposium on upper atmospheric research held at Ox- Special Committee for the IGY (SCIGY) to work on Arctic firings is appointed. Panel develops budget for IGY program. Panel votes to offer SCIGY to Technical Panel on Rocketry of National Academy of Sciences. Van Allen reports on Rockoon firings in auroral zone. Panel is planning symposium on scientific uses of earth satellites. Symposium on scientific uses of earth satellites. Panel hears reports on Japanese, Australian, British, and French rocket programs. IGY satellite plans are discussed. Rocket firings are under way at Fort Churchill. Panel changes its name to Rocket and Satellite Research Panel. Committee on the Occupation of Outer Space formed. Meeting devoted to report of COS, and to discussion of future of RSRP. Meeting devoted to planning RSRP's promotion of a National Space Establishment. Panel has Meeting devoted to planning RSRP's activity in support of National Space Establishment. |
