+++ShortDescription:		Measuring of proton fluxes during the mission to Venus
+++LongDescription:		KS-18M has been designed as a monitor of charged 
				particles of medium energies travelling in 
				the interplanetary space.  There are two sensors: 
				a gas-discharge counter D1 of the STS-5 series and 
				a SSD (Si) detector D2 of 35 micron thickness.  
				Spacecraft memory is used for data storing; 
				time resolution is about four hours.  All sensors 
				measure flux intensity continuously.

++++ShortDescription:		Ep=1-5,>30MeV; 4-hour time res.; Sun&SunPerp. directions
++++LongDescription:		Data on protons of Ep>30 MeV energy from Sun 
				(gas-discharge counter) and protons of Ep=1-5 MeV 
				energy arriving from the direction perpendicular 
				to the line Sun-spacecraft (stand-alone SSD sensor 
				of 35 micron Si).  Time resolution is 4 hours.  All 
				sensors measure flux intensity continuously.

++++++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.
