A scintiallation gamma-ray spectrometer designed to determine the element composition of Martian rocks was included in the scientific equipment of the Phobos spacecraft. Approximately 10 background spectra on the Earth to Mars flight path and about 80 spectra of Martian rocks in the equatorial region of Mars were measured during the spacecraft's operation. The gamma-ray spectrometer consisted of a detection assembly based on a CsI(Tl) crystal of 100×100 mm size, a pulse amplitude analyzer, and of an assembly for recording X-ray flashes and hard radiation from solar flares. A set of preflight tests of the equipment was conducted during preparation of the equipment.
