Reduced Cosmic Ray Count Accumulation Data

NSSDC ID: SPHE-00171

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

Time span: 1963-11-26 to 1964-06-06

Description

This experimenter-supplied data set consists of reduced cosmic-ray count accumulations on one 7-track, 800-bpi, odd-parity, binary magnetic tape written in a time-ordered format using an XDS 930 computer. There are 48 orbits of data on the tape. Each logical record contains the cosmic-ray telescope coincidence accumulations D1, D1D2, D1D2D3, and D1D2D3D4, corresponding to proton energy intervals of 0.9 to 190, 6.5 to 190, 19 to 190, and 90 to 190 MeV, respectively. Also included in the format are the time of observation and data quality information.
