Abstract
William B. Hanson has made numerous important contributions to the field of ionospheric and space physics, not only for the planet earth, but also for Mars and Venus.Dr. Hanson was born in Warroad, Minn., on December 30, 1923. He attended the University of Minnesota, where he earned a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering and a master's degree in physics. He received his Ph.D. degree from George Washington University in Washington, D. C. His earliest scientific work was in the field of low‐temperature physics at the National Bureau of Standards, but he abandoned that field of research in 1956 and entered into the field of ionospheric and space research at Lockheed Missiles and Space Company. In 1962 he went to the Southwest Center for Advanced Studies in Dallas, which in 1969 became the University of Texas at Dallas.
