摘要
A rocket borne spectrometer system sensitive to 6-80 keV photons is described. The system includes a shutter-collimator that makes it possible to measure the contribution to the background due to charged particle interactions in the mass of the rocket payload. Also described is a detector rotation mechanism that allows the look angle of the detector with respect to the rocket axis to be changed during flight. © 1969 The American Institute of Physics.
