This talk by Dr. William S. Kurth (Dept. of Physics & Astronomy) will focus on Voyager and some of the science that twin spacecraft mission is acquiring in the interstellar medium and the extraordinary lengths being taken by th e flight team at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory to keep the Voyagers operat ing (47 years). He’ll also briefly discuss a much younger mission\, Juno \, exploring Jupiter. Despite Jupiter’s intense radiation environment\, Juno is nearing completion of a four-year mission extension.\n\nLive In-Pe rson event at the Cedar Rapids Public Library with live-stream via Zoom\n\ nNote: Cedar Rapids on-street parking is free after 5:00 PM.
