RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF A PROTON SPECTROMETER

Abstract

A proton spectrometer system has been developed to measure the flux and energy spectrum of protons above 1 Mev in the Van Allen radiation belts and interplanetary space. The instrument will be flown on the Advent satellite and other Air Force vehicles to obtain information pertinent to reliability of satellite components in the space environment. (Author)
