Abstract
In order to locate possible discrete sources of high energy cosmic rays as well as to gain information related to cosmic ray origins, a detector of 100 to 1000 Mev gamma rays was constructed for inclusion in the NASA Orbiting Solar Observatory, Satellite S-17. Both direction and energy are determined by a Cerenkov coincidence arrangement together with a total absorption lead glass Cerenkov counter. Solid state pulsed light sources will be used to provide calibration during flight.
