++Name:				VENERA-10
++SatZond:			Z
++GeoHelBoth:			H
++Launch:			75/06/14
--TrajectFile:			Y
++ShortDescription:		The 10th Russian expedition to Venus
++LongDescription:		Russian space zond for Venus exploration.  
				A couple of zonds, VENERA-9 and VENERA-10 
				have been launched in a 6-day interval.  
				Both spacecraft became the Venus satellites 
				after reaching Venus' vicinity in October 1975.  
				Main axis of the spacecraft is sunward directed 
				with precision of ~10 degrees.

+++ShortDescription:		Measuring of proton and electron fluxes during the mission to Venus
+++LongDescription:		KS-18-5M has been designed as a monitor of charged 
				particles of medium energies travelling in 
				the interplanetary space.  There are six sensors: 
				a gas-discharge counter D1 of the STS-5 series, 
				three SSD (Si) detectors D2, D4 and D5 (D2 of ~400 micron 
				thickness; D4 and D5 of 30 microns), gas-discharge 
				counter with window D6 of the SBT-9 series and 
				a Cherenkov counter D3.  Spacecraft memory is used 
				for data storing; time resolution is about four hours.

++++ShortDescription:		Ep=4-12,>30,>800MeV; 4-hour time res.; Sun-antiSun directions
++++LongDescription:		Data on protons of Ep=4-12 MeV energy from 
				anti-Sun (a stand-alone SSD sensor of 
				~400 micron Si), protons of Ep>30 MeV energy 
				from Sun (gas-discharge counter) and protons 
				of Ep>800 MeV from a Cherenkov detector 
				(30x30 mm plexiglas cylinder).
				There are also SSD of ~30 micron Si for measuring 
				protons of Ep=1-5 MeV from Sun, the similar SSD 
				but for protons of Ep=0.3-5 MeV from antiSun, 
				and a gas-discharge counter with window for 
				electrons of Ee>0.05 MeV and protons of Ep>1 MeV 
				(in mix).  Although these three gave rather rare 
				and hardly processed and understood data, so 
				these columns are not presented.

++++++LongDescription:		Gas-discharge counter (STS-5) with minimum 
				shielding of ~1 g/cm2 Al for particles arriving 
				from the Sun direction so that the thresholds 
				are: Ep=30 MeV and Ee=2 MeV.  For other directions 
				the threshold is Ep=500 MeV.  All species are measured 
				in mix, although the typically higher presence 
				of >30 MeV protons above others makes the channel 
				mostly recording the data on this species.
