SP-466 The Star Splitters
 

The Cosmic X-ray Experiment, HEAO A -2. The A-2 experiment consisted of six collimated detectors of thin window X-ray proportional counters, electronics, and a gas system. The major purpose of the experiment was to measure the emission and absorption of cosmic X-rays in the energy range of 0.2 to 60 kiloelectron volts. Principal Investigators were Elihu Boldt of Goddard Space Flight Center and Gordon Garmire of Pennsylvania State University. Hardware was produced by Goddard. Others assisting in the program were the Bendix Corporation, the University of California, and the California Institute of Technology.
