The spectrum of diffuse cosmic gamma rays over the 0.127 MeV range was measured by a 7 x 7 cm omnidirectional NaI counter on Apollo 15 and 16. Location of the spectrometer on a 7.6 m extensible boom, use of precision pulse-height analysis, and operation in several modes permitted data to be obtained from which spacecraft and other background contributions could be separated. Recent measurements verified the Apollo spectrum.
