From RUAG Space (via Twitter):
We are deeply saddened to learn that physicist Jürg Meister has passed at the age of 81. Our thoughts are with his loved ones! Involved in the Apollo 11 solar wind experiment as a doctoral student the University of Bern in 1969, the then 30-year-old brought it from Switerzland to the United States in his hand luggage.

Jürg worked for and at RUAG for more than 40 years. A detailed report of his life and achievements can be found here.
