โฆ Synopsis
This is the first of a seven part series on the potential applications of superconductivity in space. The series considers six classes of superconducting instrumentation for space applications," high field magnets, low frequency sensors, digital electronics, microwave and infrared detectors, instruments for gravitational studies, and high-Q cavities. This introductory article provides background information for the study and briefly summarizes the contents of the articles which follow. This series is derived from a study supported by NASA and, as such, contains some speculation about ultimate instrument performance levels and future space missions.
