Andrew Carton (left) and Ryan Helland, recent graduates from the University of Iowa, both work on the Iowa-led TRACERS mission. Carton is overseeing the development of a circuit board critical to the research, and Helland is helping to build a magnetic search coil that will measure magnetic fields.
