Scientific paper

The Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE), one of four instruments on the Gamma Ray Observatory, consists of eight identical detector modules mounted on the corners of the spacecraft. Developed at MSFC, BATSE is the most sensitive gamma ray burst detector flown to date. Details of the assembly and test phase of the flight hardware development are presented. Results and descriptions of calibrations performed at MSFC, TRW, and KSC are documented extensively. With the presentation of each calibration results, the reader is provided with the means to access raw calibration data for further review or analysis.
