Biographical Note
Gerard P. Kuiper was born in The Netherlands in the town of Harenkarspel on December 7, 1905. He entered Leiden University in 1924 and received his Bachelor of Science in 1927. Kuiper immediately continued his graduate studies and received his Ph.D. in Astronomy in 1933. While completing his advanced studies, he was an assistant observer at the Leiden Observatory, 1928-1933. From 1933-1935 he was a Kellogg Fellow under American astronomer Robert Grant Aiken at Lick Observatory, Mount Hamilton, California.
In 1935 he went to Harvard College Observatory, Cambridge, Massachusetts as a lecturer in Astronomy. There he met Sara Parker Fuller and they married on June 20, 1936. They had two children, Paul Hayes born in 1941 and Sylvia Lucy Ann born in 1947. In 1936 Gerard Kuiper accepted a job at Yerkes Observatory of the University of Chicago as an assistant professor of Practical Astronomy. In 1937 he became an American citizen and was appointed associate professor. In 1943 he became a full professor and in 1947 Kuiper became the director of the Yerkes and McDonald Observatories. In 1960 he resigned from Yerkes Observatory and relocated to the University of Arizona in Tucson. Some of his best known discoveries during his tenure at the University of Chicago are: the atmosphere of Saturn's moon Titan in 1944, the carbon dioxide atmosphere of Mars in 1948, Uranus's satellite Miranda in 1948, and Neptune's satellite Nereid in 1949.
In 1960 Kuiper established the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory (LPL), first as part of the Institute of Atmospheric Physics and later as a separate unit at the University of Arizona. In his years at LPL Kuiper established a group of telescopes in the Santa Catalina Mountains above Tucson; made balloon spectroscopic observations of the Earth's atmosphere; and conducted observatory site surveys in Hawaii, Mexico, and California. He was principal investigator on the NASA Ranger program, and as an experimenter on the Surveyor programs in the mid 1960s. Kuiper also served on numerous NASA Committees and Panels and briefed many high government officials on features of the space program. He died on a vacation trip in Mexico City on December 24, 1973
Gerard P. Kuiper is considered by many as the father of modern planetary science. In 1975 Kuiper was posthumously honored by NASA when the airborne infrared telescope was named the “Kuiper Airborne Observatory”. He was honored again in 1984 with the establishment of the Kuiper Prize by the American Astronomical Society Division of Planetary Science, and in 1992 when the Kuiper Belt was named after him.

This series is arranged chronologically. The series documents Dr. Kuiper’s activities during World War II as a member of the ALSOS Mission. It contains reports, interviews, correspondence, articles and also an account of military, naval and air operations in the Netherlands.
The ALSOS Mission was part of the Manhattan Project, an effort during World War II by Great Britain and the United States to create an atomic bomb. The ALSOS Mission followed the Allied invasion of Italy in September 1943, to investigate the German nuclear energy project. The ALSOS Mission personnel followed close behind the front lines, and occasionally behind enemy lines, first in Italy, and later in France and Germany. ALSOS personnel managed to find and remove many of the German research effort's personnel, along with a substantial portion of the surviving records and equipment. Digitized copies of materials containted in Box 57 Folders 15-17 available online: Alsos Mission, Gerard P. Kuiper papers.
