Scientific paper

The design features and performance parameters for Indian IONS experiment for measuring cosmic ray ion states from the Spacelab are described. The ions will be examined in the energy range 5-100 MeV/amu of C, N, O, Ne, Mg, Si, Ca, and Fe, with measurements made of the states, abundances, intensities, and energy spectra. Additionally, low energy heavy ions of carbon to iron will be investigated in the same energy range during solar events. The arrival time and direction of each ion will be determined with the plastic detector system, stacks of thin sheets of the polymer of the manomer CRE-39. The particle and its energy can be identified from the geometry and depth of the track, and arrival time can be quantified within 10 sec. The instrument will be mounted on a cold plate on the pallet to maintain thermal control, and instrument operation will be effected by the crew.
