Scientific paper

A history of the study of ultra heavy cosmic rays is presented. Data sources include balloon flights of photographic emulsions and Wilson cloud chambers, a HEAO-3 C2 Danish/French experiment, and an Ariel VI cosmic ray Cerenkov radiation detector. Attention is given to cosmic ray primaries of low charge (Z not more than 28), ultra heavy nuclei with Z greater than 30, ultra heavy charge spectra (Z not more than 50), and charge spectra for Z greater than 50. It is noted that the Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF) at the time of preparation of the paper was still in space and collecting UH cosmic rays, yielding a harvest that should exceed by 20 times the Ariel VI and HEAO 3 total. Such a harvest could contain a significant flux of actinides.
