Based on discoveries in this new field of X-ray astronomy, starting with Scorpius X-1, Riccardo Giacconi received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2002.

Riccardo Giacconi ( born October 6, 1931 ) is an Italian-born, naturalized American Nobel Prize-winning astrophysicist who laid the foundations of X-ray astronomy.

Applying himself to this problem, Giacconi worked on the instrumentation for X-ray astronomy ; from rocket-borne detectors in the late 1950s and early 1960s, to Uhuru, the first orbiting X-ray astronomy satellite, in the 1970s.

Giacconi also applied his expertise to other fields of astronomy, becoming the first director of the Space Telescope Science Institute, the science operations center for the Hubble Space Telescope.

Born in Genoa, Italy, Giacconi received his Laurea from the University of Milan before moving to the US to pursue a career in astrophysics research.

Federico Faggin developed the first micro-chip and micro-processor ; Robert Gallo led research that identified a cancer-causing virus, and also the AIDS virus ; Anthony Fauci conducted significant research that led to the discovery of the AIDS virus ; Riccardo Giacconi developed the X-ray telecope ; and Enrico Fermi ushered in the nuclear age.

In 1976 the Chandra X-ray Observatory ( called AXAF at the time ) was proposed to NASA by Riccardo Giacconi and Harvey Tananbaum.

He shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2002 with Japanese physicist Masatoshi Koshiba and American Riccardo Giacconi for pioneering contributions to astrophysics, in particular for the detection of cosmic neutrinos, looking at the solar neutrino problem in the Homestake Experiment.

Scorpius X-1 was discovered in 1962 by a team under Riccardo Giacconi at American Science and Engineering in Cambridge, Massachusetts, who launched an X-ray detector on an Aerobee 150 sounding rocket to look for X-ray emissions from Earth's moon.

* 1962-Riccardo Giacconi, Herbert Gursky, F. Paolini, and Bruno Rossi formally discover the X-ray background

Seeing a need for longer duration studies, in 1963 Riccardo Giacconi and Herb Gursky proposed the first orbital satellite to study X-ray sources.

Among these were five who were destined to become Noble Prize laureates: Salvatore Luria, Renato Dulbecco, Franco Modigliani, Mario Capecchi and Riccardo Giacconi.

( The other shares of that year's Prize were awarded to Raymond Davis Jr. & Riccardo Giacconi of the U. S. A .)

If sender0 has code ( 1, – 1 ) and data ( 1, 0, 1, 1 ), and sender1 has code ( 1, 1 ) and data ( 0, 0, 1, 1 ), and both senders transmit simultaneously, then this table describes the coding steps:
