Scientific paper

The possibility of the polarimetry of cosmic sources of hard gamma-ray emission using telescopes containing spark chambers, based on the dependence of the anisotropy of the azimuthal distribution of the planes of e(+ or -) pairs on the degree of linear polarization, is discussed. An estimate is made of the photon statistics required for the measurement of polarization and it is concluded that such measurement is already feasible at the level of sensitivity of the Gamma-1 and GRO telescopes now being developed.
