This data set, provided by the experimenter, consists of magnetic tapes generated on a CDC 3600 computer. Each physical record consists of 960 BCD characters. These tapes contain the complete set of reduced solar and cosmic source data. The solar data include counts per energy channel, channel number, and universal time. The cosmic source data include the direction, in celestial coordinates, of an X-ray event and the energy channel in which it fell. Except for nighttime gaps, data coverage is continuous from launch through April 8, 1968. For relevant references, see D.A. Schwartz, H.S. Hudson, and L.E. Peterson (1970), Astrophys. J., v. 162, pp. 431-437; D.A. Schwartz (1970), Astrophys. J., v. 162, pp. 439-444; D.A. Schwartz (1974), Astrophys. J., v. 190, pp. 297-303.
