The idea of a symposium devoted to the contemporary knowledge of
the world of Copernicus - the planetary system - to commemorate the
500th anniversary of his birth, came during the XIV General
Assembly of IAU in Brighton. The Executive Committee has approved
it in the program of the Extraordinary (Copernicus) General
Assembly ofIAU in Poland in 1973. The IAU Symposium No 65
(Copernicus Symposium IV) on the 'Exploration of the Planetary
System' was held in Copernicus' native town - Torun, Poland, from
5th to 8th September, 1973 under the auspices of Commissions 16
(Physical Study of Planets and Satellites) and 40 (Radio-astronomy)
and the co-sponsorship of COSPAR. There were about 140 invited
participants from 29 countries and about the same num ber of other
participants to the Extraordinary General Assembly of IAU who came
to Torun to attend the sessions of this symposium. Special funds of
the Polish Acade my of Sciences made possible the participation of
several young astronomers in this meeting. We are very grateful to
Professor P. Swings, the Director of the Astrophysical Institute of
the University of Liege, Belgium, for accepting the task of
chairing this symposium. His expert and enthusiastic guidance
helped us constantly in the prepara tion. The efforts of the
Members of the Scientific Organizing Committee are also very much
appreciated. Special thanks are due to Professors A. Dollfus and T.
Owen."
