Abstract
Abstract. The International Geophysical Year (IGY) was the most significant international scientific event in geophysical sciences in the
history of mankind. This was the largest international experiment that
brought together about 300 000 scientists from 67 countries. Well-planned activity of national and international committees was organized for the
first time. The history of the IGY organization and complex international
experiments in planetary geophysics conducted within its program are
discussed in this article. Special attention is given to the estimation of the significance of this project for developing worldwide geophysical research.
期刊介绍：
The scope of History of Geo- and Space Sciences (HGSS) is to document historical facts and knowledge and to improve awareness of the history of geoscience. The knowledge of the development of geosciences and their experimental methods and theories in the past can improve our current understanding and may stimulate current research. It is encouraging for young scientists to read biographical material of historical figures in their research area. It is important as well to learn that history of science is an integrated part of the ongoing research in their research area. Another important aim of the journal is the association of historical retrospective and current research.
