Original Reduced Ion Chamber and GM Counts

NSSDC ID: SPHE-00250

Availability: At NSSDC, Ready for Offline Distribution (or Staging if Digital)

Time span: 1966-07-01 to 1967-06-09

Description

This experimenter-supplied data set contains energetic electron and proton count data on BCD magnetic tapes. Each file on a tape has a 12-character index, which identifies the original GSFC tapes from which the data were taken, and a variable number of 865-character data records. Each data record contains four data sequences. A sequence contains the time (UT) of the observation, two accumulations each from Geiger-Mueller (GM) tubes A and B and the ion chamber, the time between the first pair of ion chamber pulses in each of two accumulation periods, the sun angle, the satellite spin period, and a number of processing error flags.
