Abstract :
The radiation-monitor experiment for the UOSAT spacecraft is described. This instrument employs two G-M tubes with energy thresholds of 20 and 40 keV. The tubes are sampled 5 times each second and the count rate telemetered to ground directly or stored for later transmission. Examples of observations during geomagnetically quiet and disturbed conditions are presented.
