"From the time Explorer 1 was launched more than 40 years ago
and discovered the Van Allen radiation belts, Explorer
satellites have made impressive discoveries by obtaining

Associate Administrator for Space Science, NASA Headquarters,
Washington. "The two missions we've selected will continue in
the Explorer tradition by investigating some of the most
fundamental questions raised in space science."
