Popis: A payload for the detection and measurement of high energy neutrons and gamma rays from the sun was flown onboard the first Indian satelliteAryabhata. The payload system for this neutron-gamma experiment was designed for detecting energetic neutrons in the energy range 10–500 MeV and gamma rays in the energy range 0.2–20 MeV. The details of the design of the payload, various tests carried out on it as well as the preliminary in-orbit performance are presented.
