Abstract
The known and conjectured particle populations in space are reviewed. The role of scintillation counters in obtaining the present knowledge and their possible use in extending this knowledge are discussed. The detectors in Satellite 1958 Epsilon (Explorer IV) and an auroral rocket instrumentation are described in detail.
