Beschreibung : The objectives of this spacecraft were to measure background gamma radiation over the whole earth in the 100 to 300-kV range and in the >700-kV range. Fluxes and spectra of low-altitude charged particles were to be measured as a function of time and magnetospheric position. The effects of the space environment on various thermal control coatings were to be determined. Measurements of UV radiation, and H and He atoms and ions were taken. Observation was made of extreme and far UV originating in interaction of solar wind with interplanetary medium or from galactic sources.
