Scientific paper

The early years of cosmic ray research are reviewed from a historical perspective. Consideration is given to: the balloon measurements of the cosmic ray background carried out by V.F. Hess in 1912; the early measurements of cosmic ray intensity as a function of latitude; and the discovery of the positron and the mesotron in the 1930s. The impact of various technologies (particle accelerators, satellites, and space probes) and the pace of discovery in the field of cosmic ray studies is examined in detail. Black and white photographs of the major contributors to cosmic ray studies over the last 70 years are provided.
