Reduced Cosmic Ray Count Accumulation Data

NSSDC ID: SPHE-00633

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

Time span: 1964-10-04 to 1965-04-02

Description

This experimenter-supplied data set consists of reduced cosmic-ray count accumulations on binary magnetic tape written in a time-ordered format using an XDS 930 computer. There are 134 orbits of data on the tape. Each logical record contains the following cosmic-ray telescope coincidence accumulations: D1, D1D2 not D3, D1D2D3 not D4, D1D2D3D4, and D5, corresponding to proton energy intervals of 0.9 to 190, 6.5 to 19, 19 to 90, 90 to 190, and about 1 MeV, respectively. Also included in the format are the time of observation and data quality information.
