The November 22, 1977 solar flare was observed at energies up to 4.9 MeV by French-built gamma ray detectors aboard the Prognoz-6 satellite. The data show evidence for 2.23 and 4.43 MeV line emission, with the 2.23 MeV emission occurring about 3 min after the flare onset in hard X-rays. The line intensities, 0.11/sq cm-s and 0.06/sq cm-s for the 2.23 and 4.43 lines, respectively, are roughly comparable to intensities observed in other events. Particle detectors aboard the Prognoz-6 satellite, however, recorded a proton flux much lower than that observed for the August 4, 1972 event. It is shown that this may be taken as evidence for a thick target interpretation of the proton interactions in the solar atmosphere.
