Abstract :
A transistorized 1500 channel pulse height analyzer (PHA) has been developed for satellite use. It is of the "stepping circuit" variety, weighs 410 grams, uses approximately one watt and requires about one millisecond per event. This PHA is utilized in several satellite and balloon borne cosmic ray telescopes scheduled for flight this year.
