SP-466 The Star Splitters
 

HEAO A-1 Experiment, the Large Area X-ray Survey Experiment. The A-1 experiment consisted of seven modules of thin window X-ray proportional counters, central electronics, two stellar aspect assemblies, and a gas system. The major purpose of the experiment was to map the celestial sphere for X-ray sources and to determine the spectrum, intensity, and time variations of the radiation from these sources. The Principal Investigator for A-l was Herbert Friedman of the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). Hardware was produced by NRL with assistance from New Mexico State University, Las Cruces.
