The Wide Band Spectrometer (WBS) for the solar flare satellite SOLAR-A scheduled for launch in 1991 consists of three kinds of detectors to observe the wide band spectrum from soft X-rays to gamma-rays. The soft X-ray spectrometer (gas proportional counter), hard X-ray spectrometer (NaI scintillation counter and gamma-ray spectrometer (two BGO scintillation counters) cover the 2-30 keV, 20-400 keV and 0.2-100 MeV bands, respectively. Further, the WBS contains a radiation belt monitor consisting of a NaI scintillation counter which is capable of detecting cosmic gamma-ray bursts. The details of these detectors, electronics systems and data collection are described.
