Space research in the Netherlands
Abstract
Solar and stellar space research, cosmic ray, photometry, and satellite geodesy projects are summarized. Impulsive burst heating, a chromospheric explosion, and convection in a solar flare were studied using hard X-ray imaging spectrometer data. The ISEE 3 satellite was reprogrammed to study the magnetotail. A cataclysmic variable star was observed. Coronal and chromospheric activity of F, G, and K stars was investigated. Work on EXOSAT, the Coded Mask Imaging Spectrometer for Salyut 7, Hipparcos, and the International Solar Polar Mission continued. The COS-B gamma ray data were analyzed. The IRAS was launched and a balloon infrared astronomical platform was flown. A Josephson receiver with an overall noise temperature of 500 K (single side band) at 185 GHz was developed. Mobile laser range finders were studied.
