Scientific paper

The design and development of the payload units contained in the spacecraft's instrument package are described. The units include an anticoincidence dome, a spark chamber, a triggering telescope (array of scintillation and Cerenkov counters), an energy calorimeter, the experiment electronics, a burst detector, and a pulsar synchronizer. The spark chamber and the telescope are screened above and at the sides by an anticoincidence scintillation counter with nine associated photomultipliers. The counter inhibits the trigger of the spark chamber when a charged particle is detected in time coincidence with the telescope counters.
