Questions lead to space
Eaton conducts research seminar
Questions as basic as "who are we? are prime reasons
for American space programs, according to Kam-Ching
Leung, assistant professor of physics.
"There have been theories of the origin of the universe,
but none have been proven a law of fact," he said. "To
understand the structure of the universe may be to unders
tand the origin of our earth and solar system."
Leung was a research associate for the New York Institute
for Space Studies of the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA). He has recently joined the University
staff to set up an astronomical observatory and program.
Leung asserted that few U.S. government programs have
been as successful as NASA's space efforts.
"NASA has accomplished its deadlines, including that
of putting a man on the moon by 1370," he said."NASA
has had the ability to attract good people to work in
its program.'
"The Early Bird satellite Increased the capacity for
long-distance communications," he said. "Also, principles
used in re-entry may someday be applicable to high speed
transport."
"It's odd that in the year of NASA's greatest success,
when man landed on the moon, the budget should be cut,"
he said.
Within NASA funds must be allocated to its numerous
programs. These include study of the lunar surface and
the planets, solar observation and the study of X-ray, gamma
ray and radio sources.
NASA must also decide whether to emphasize manned
or unmanned space flights, Leung noted. He added that
to date the United States has been concentrating on manned
flights.
Russia, he said, may be aiming at a program, such
as constructing a station in space from which to launch
vehicles.
"There are lots of things man can't observe from earth,
Leung said. "The obvious thing is to go into space and
see."
