Scientific paper

The advantages of photon-counting detectors such as the Ranicon over other detectors in space-based astronomy in the area of time-resolved imaging and spectroscopy are discussed. Details of a system to record the positions and absolute arrival times of individual photons are described, with emphasis on the time-tag module and detector electronics and data collection system. The use of a GPS system for accurate absolute timing when synchronizing observations from different observatories is suggested.
