These data list cumulative perforation areas of the opaque CdS cell cover for each time for which data could be read. The readout time depended upon the solar aspect of the satellite when the satellite was in range of a readout station, since the desired minimum cell resistance (for a given hole area) occurs only when the sun is normal to the cell surface. Seven lines of data are listed for the 20-day operation of cell A, and eight lines of data are given for the 55-day operation of cell B. The data are on page 10 of L. Secretan, "Measurements of Interplanetary Dust Particle Flux from Explorer XVI CdS and Wire Grid Dust Particle Detectors," NASA/GSFC X-613-66-451.
