| Popis: | The high precision gamma-ray spectrometer (PGS) is scheduled to be launched on the Mars-94 mission in October, 1994, and to go into an elliptical polar orbit around Mars. The PGS consists of two high-purity germanium (Ge) detectors, associated electronics, and a passive cooler and will be mounted on one of the solar panels. The PGS will measure nuclear gamma-ray emissions from the martian surface, cosmic gamma-ray bursts, and the high-energy component of solar flares in the broad energy range from 50 keV to 8 MeV using 4096 energy channels. |
