Mission Name: Venera 12The objectives of this investigation were to measure the spectra and angular distribution of electrons and protons in the solar wind. It used proportional counters, Geiger counters, and semiconductor and scintillation detectors. Electrons from 5 to 500 keV and protons in two ranges, 0.05 to 1 MeV and 30 to 200 MeV, were measured. The instrumentation had a dynamic range up to 5.0E5 particles/sq cm-s-sr.
