Ears & Eyes. Another possible hazard for space travelers is cosmic dust-micro-meteorites. Behind metal plates on the sides of Explorer VI, microphones listen for micrometeoric impacts, register their intensity and frequency. The problem of communication with future space probes or space argonauts is complicated by the fact that radio waves are distorted and deflected when they penetrate the shell of the ionosphere. The satellite carries equipment to study their behavior...
Latest discovered hazard, and potentially the most dangerous yet, was described last week by Physicists E. P. Ney, J. R. Winckler and P. S. Freier of the University of Minnesota, who specialize on observing cosmic rays by means of high-altitude plastic balloons. Last May 10 they heard from astronomers that an unusually powerful flare had erupted on the sun.

This indicated, said Leinbach, that...
