APL Research and Development
Volume 27, Number 3 (2007)

APL Research and Development issues traditionally span a broad range of the Laboratory’s activities. This R&D issue is an anthology of articles on such diverse topics as dynamic auroral displays, orbit determination, aerospace nuclear safety, and human exploration of the outer planets. Other articles describe APL’s work in biochemistry of corneal wounds, target detection, risk analysis, and the design of experiments.
