... that plasma physicist Donald Gurnett was part of 41 NASA missions, including Voyager 1 for which he designed the instrument that confirmed that the craft had crossed the heliopause in 2012? Source: “In all, Gurnett was part of 41 space missions, and nearly two-thirds of the 67 spacecraft projects the UI has been involved in...One mission always stood out to Gurnett: Voyager 1. The spacecraft, launched in 1977, was the second to visit Jupiter and Saturn. In 2012, Gurnett’s radio- and plasma-wave instrument onboard the craft confirmed that Voyager 1 had crossed the heliopause—the plasma boundary of the solar system—farther than any man-made object had ever traveled.”

The article is long enough, new enough, and has no copyright violations. The article says "some 41 NASA missions" while the hook says "41 NASA space missions". The information for the hook needs to be directly cited. A QPQ is needed. SL93 (talk) 18:19, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

QPQ is done. I just altered the hook by removing “space” to match the article. Thriley (talk) 19:54, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I also removed the word "some" from the article to make it match the hook even more. This is approved. SL93 (talk) 19:58, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
