Description of a gamma telescope mounted on board the Cosmos 561 satellite for the purpose of seeking local sources of cosmic gamma quanta with energies of 100 MeV or more. A description is given of a gamma telescope in which a gamma quantum is recorded if it passes without interaction through two scintillation detectors and is converted into an electron-positron pair which, in turn, causes the triggering of two other scintillation detectors and a Cerenkov detector inserted in binary and ternary coincidence circuits. The first pair of scintillation detectors and four lateral detectors control an anticoincidence circuit and thus prevent the recording of charged particles. The telescope also includes an acoustic spark chamber, a high-voltage pulse generator, a memory device, and an amplitude-time converter.
