Abstract
THE U.S. Naval Research Laboratory has instrumented a series of satellites for the investigation of solar X-ray and ultra-violet emissions1,2. It has generously allowed the Radio Research Station, Slough, to participate in these experiments and has provided the necessary information for reducing telemetry data. This communication presents some results for X-rays in the band 44–60 Å derived from telemetry recorded from satellite 1963-21-C at the D.S.I.R. Radio Research Minitrack Station at Winkfield during June–July 1963. The principle of the experiment has been used on previous satellites and has been described by Acton et al.2.
