EIGHT YEARS of space experimentation have elapsed since James A. Van Allen, George H. Ludwig, Carl E. McIlwain and E. C. Ray discovered the earth's radiation belts with a Geiger counter on the Explorer 1 satellite. Almost every flight since has offered the opportunity of finding a different particle, a new energy distribution or an unusual space or time variation.
