Edwin Prior (1979)
Edwin Prior (1979) writes, " Thirty-six years after I first published research showing high altitude hydrogen levels to be much greater than cited in national standards, the Air Force has now accepted my findings.

I was the NASA Principal Investigator for PAGEOS, still the second largest satellite by volume to be injected into earth orbit. I published a paper on orbital drag measurements at altitudes above 2000 kilometers, from observations of the balloon satellite's orbital decay (The Use of Artificial Satellites for Geodesy, Byrd Press, 1972, pp. 197-207), and found hydrogen levels to be 200 percent greater than given in the U.S. Standard Atmosphere. The results were so unexpected at the time that they were not accepted for the next upcoming version of the U.S. Standard Atmosphere, published four years later in 1976.

Hydrogen has been difficult to measure in the upper atmosphere because its concentration is so low that few instruments can measure it accurately. At the high altitudes where PAGEOS orbited, hydrogen predominates over the other heavier atmospheric gases. Researchers in England had been attempting to measure drag effects at such altitudes from the orbital decay of balloon satellites as a way to determine the concentrations of hydrogen in the upper atmosphere, but none had succeeded. The problem was complicated by the fact that even minute earth-reflected radiation (earthshine) forces gently push balloon satellites out of their orbits, an effect that has to be accounted for in order to isolate hydrogen drag.

In 2008, the Air Force Space Command announced my results had finally been accepted and incorporated the 36-year-old hydrogen resulta into its new atmospheric model, used by the AF Space Battlelab for missile trajectories and satellite orbit predictions. (http://sol.spacenvironment.net/~JB2008/pubs/JASTP_Bowman_JB2006_2008.pdf)

I retired from NASA Langley in 2005 after a 40-year career there. Our research has been variously cited in The Stratosphere: Past and Present, the COSPAR International Reference Atmosphere, the U.S. National Report on Geodesy, and the various U.S. Standard Atmosphere publications. There are a total of six references to our research in three different annual editions of Significant Achievements in Space Science.

"The book brings out the many aspects and contradiction of a country richly endowed with such beauty and so much wealth, but with such stark misery as the rich and the poor interact-- as they must-- to tragic unpredictable concussion."

Rene Wylie Garfield (1998) writes, "
After receiving my degree in 1998, I worked in Program Management for various USAID contractors which allowed me to travel extensively in Central Asia, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan specifically, in late 2000 and early 2001. After this time, with my government contracting knowledge, I made a career move into Contract Administration. Over the past 4 years I have been working on DOD and USAID contracts alike, while honing my contract writing and contract regulation skills."
