Mission Name: OSO 1This experiment was designed to search for the solar bremsstrahlung bursts in the 20- to 100-keV energy range from the whole solar disk. The detector was a scintillation counter consisting of a cylindrical NaI(Tl) crystal (0.3 cm thick and 2.24 cm in diameter) and an RCA C-7151 photomultiplier tube. A copper shield collimated the detector to a 0.3-sr FOV. A count-rate meter provided an output signal from 0 to 5 V corresponding to count-rate range from 10 to 104 counts per second. The experiment performed normally during the life of the spacecraft.
