Scientific paper

The HELIOS Cosmic Ray Experiment (E6) is a newly developed instrument to measure high energy charged particles of solar, planetary and galactic origin in the inner solar system. Electrons above 0.3 MeV, protons and heavier nuclei up to Neon with energies above 1.3 MeV/N can be separated. The sensor is a telescope consisting of semiconductor-, Cerenkov- and Scintillaton detectors. The complex data processing system onboard and on ground was developed for optimum use of the very restricted telemetry capacity of the space probe. The proprties of the instruments are discussed in detail, followed by short descriptions of the mission, the data evaluation, and the spectrum of scientific results.
