Abstract

To date there have been no adequate measurements of the energy spectrum of high energy cosmic gamma-rays. This information can only be obtained from instrumentation located above the atmosphere. An experiment has been designed by Dr. Leavitt at the University of New Mexico to obtain this information. It is to be orbited in the S-17 Orbiting Solar Observatory.
