This reduced cosmic ray experiment data set, on 17 experimenter-submitted, 7-track, 800-bpi, IBM 7094, binary magnetic tapes contains, for each 6.83-min telemetry sequence, the counts from the Geiger-Mueller (GM) counter and single scintillator detectors during each of 12 1.6-s intervals, the counts from the scintillator telescope during one 5.12-min interval, and the averages of the GM counter and single scintillator count data. This data set also contains several time, orbit, and attitude parameters. The tapes are blocked with 6.83 min of data per tape record. Included are data for periods when the spacecraft encoder was working, from 02 October 1962 to 10 January 1963 and from 24 January 1963 to 11 August 1963 with about 80% coverage. Listings of the same data are available on 27 reels of microfilm in data set SPMS-00217.
