I am proud to have had the opportunity to learn from and be motivated by Professor Van Allen.

quote:
The world's science community suffered a great loss this month with the death Aug. 9 of U.S. space pioneer James A. Van Allen, the Regent Distinguished Professor of Physics in the University of Iowa College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Van Allen, who is perhaps best known as discoverer and namesake of the Van Allen Radiation Belts surrounding Earth, died of heart failure at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. He was 91. Plans for a memorial service are still pending. More >>

Tributes, news, photos, and video chronicling Van Allen�s tremendous contributions to the exploration of space, and to Iowa, may be found at http://www.uiowa.edu/~ournews/van-allen

Professor Van Allen was a great man of science and his achievements speak for themselves.

May his soul rest in peace.
