Abstract:
The
payload will study the variation of cosmic radiation with altitude
and time in the atmosphere.
Two detectors each viewed by a photomultiplier tube will be
will be used to provide singles, coincident and accidental counting
rates to determine the flux of radiation as a function of altitude.
