George Robert Carruthers (October 1, 1939 – December 26, 2020) [1] [2] was an American space physicist and engineer.Carruthers perfected a compact and very powerful ultraviolet camera/spectrograph for NASA to use when it launched Apollo 16 in 1972.
The camera contained a cesium iodide (CsI) photocathode and used a film cartridge [2] which was recovered and returned to earth for processing. John Young saluting and jumping on the lunar surface. The Far UV Camera/Spectrograph can be seen in the background, under the shadow of the lunar module .

Marconi technician Peter Wright, a British scientist and later MI5 counterintelligence officer, ran the investigation. [9] He was able to get The Thing working reliably with an illuminating frequency of 800 MHz. The generator which had discovered the device was tuned to 1800 MHz.
West and Sessler optimized the mechanical and surface parameters of the system. [10] Nearly 90 percent of the microphones produced annually are based on the principles of the foil-electret and are used in everyday items such as telephones, camcorders, hearing aids, baby monitors, and audio recording devices among others.
