Original Reduced GM Tube and Ion Chamber Count Data

NSSDC ID: SPMS-00507

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

Time span: 1964-10-05 to 1965-04-05

Description

This experimenter-supplied ionization chamber and Anton 213 Geiger-Mueller (GM) tube count data set is contained on BCD magnetic tape. The first file on the tape is a 12-character index that identifies the original GSFC tape from which the data were taken. Following the index file are a variable number of files containing 1032-character data records, each of which consists of eighteen 56-character logical records and a 24-character group that again identifies the data with respect to the original GSFC tape. Each logical record contains the universal time (d, h, min, and ms), one accumulation each from the ion chamber and GM tube B, two accumulations from GM tube A, the azimuthal and polar solar angles, satellite spin period, and a number of processing error flags. These data are not time ordered. A time-ordered version of these data is found in data set 64-060A-05B.
