Scientific paper

The authors describe the in-orbit performance of the gas scintillation proportional counter which formed part of the Spacelab-1 payload. Discontinuities in the instrument gain are observed (similar to those of the xenon-filled GSPC's on the EXOSAT and TENMA satellites). A post-flight recalibration of the instrument was performed using synchrotron radiation, which found the discontinuities to be coincident with the xenon L edges.
