There are five sensors: a gas-discharge counter D1 of the STS-5 series, three SSD (Si) detectors D2, D3 and D4 of 35 micron thickness and a gas-discharge counter with window D5 of the SBT-9 series. Spacecraft memory is used for data storing; time resolution is about four hours. All sensors measure flux intensity continuously. +++Publication: *.1 ++++PublicationRef: S.N.Vernov, N.N.Kontor, G.P.Lyubimov, N.V.Pereslegina, and E.A.Chuchkov, "Solar cosmic ray increase on 25 February-5 March, 1969 according to measurements from Venus-5 and Venus-6 space probes", Astrophys.
