Acknowledgements

The authors wish to acknowledge the crucial efforts of John Galloway, GGS instrument manager for TIDE/PSI; Bill Chisholm, Vic Coffey, and Nelson Martinez of MSFC; Peggy Sloan and Dick West of Boeing Computer Support Services; Ron Bowman, Ron Black, Al Blevins, Poul Jensen, Dana Kloza, Don Shirley, Kirk Smith, and David Strain of Southwest Research Institute; Kevin McCabe of Los Alamos National Laboratory; Tod Williamson of Hughes Research Laboratories; as well as other members of the technical and science staffs of the respective organizations. All labored long and hard at one time or another to make TIDE what it is. We are indebted to M. Torr, M. Neugebauer and W. Lennartsson for stimulating discussions concerning the design of electrostatic mirrors; and to R. C. Olsen for advice and discussion regarding the plan for the PSI. A. P. Biddle, J. H. Hoffman, R. A. Heelis, and W. W. Wright contributed to early versions of the Mirror/RPA design. SwRI work was carried out under NASA grants NAG8-114 and NAG8-693, NASA contract NAS8-38189, and SwRI Internal Research Project 15-9455. Work performed at Los Alamos National Laboratories was carried out under the auspices of the U.S. Dept. of Energy. Work performed at CRPE was funded by CNES.
