INVESTIGATION OF THE SUN'S X-RAYS. III. ELECTRONIC APPARATUS (in Russian)
The electronic portion of an apparatus constructed for the investigation of soft x rays being emitted by the sun is described. The apparatus is used in geophysical rockets and in cosmic space ships and earth satellites. In the geophysical rockets two separate detection channels are employed, one for the working counters and the other for the control counters. The working counter is always directed towards the sun while the control counter is turned 15 deg away from the sun. In the second Sputnik six identical counters were used and arranged so that their line of sight was oriented along three mutually perpendicular axes. In the third Sputnik the working and contour counters were distributed in a system which was self-orienting with respect to the sun. In addition, two stationary counters were enrployed; their direction with respect to the sun changed during the course of the flight. The electronic apparatus consists of the following basic components: a circuit that forms the amplitude and shape of the counter pulses, the triggering device, the separating cascade circuit, and the coding set-up. Each of these circuits is described in detail; block diagrams are shown. (TTT)
