| On the cover: NASA ER-2 airplane taking off to perform high-altitude measurements of the radiation from cosmic rays penetrating and interacting with the atmosphere. Results of the measurements will help improve dosimetry for airplane crews and passengers exposed to this complex mixed radiation. See article by Paul Goldhagen on page 526 for more information.
