Data on particle fluxes measured by Coronas-i Satellite. ftp://smdc.sinp.msu.ru/coronas-i/mcr/00_readme.txt ================================================================ CORONAS-I is the first satellite of the CORONAS group. Launched on March 2, 1992 from the Plesetsk Test Range (Russia). Sun-synchronous orbit 500km altitude, 82 degrees inclination. Data available from March 1994 to October 1994. More information can be found in http://coronas.IZMIRAN.ru SCR (Solar Cosmic Rays) instrument package was created in D.V. Skobeltsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Moscow State University (SINP MSU). SCR consists of three instruments: MCR (Monitor of Cosmic Rays), SONG (Solar Neutron and Gamma-Quantum) SCR-3 (Solar Cosmic Rays-3). MCR measured energetic electrons of energy E>0.5 MeV and energetic protons from ~1 MeV to hundreds of MeV and the nuclei from He to O covering the energy range from units to tenths MeV/nucleon. The Detectors of MCR device were oriented along the Earth-Sun axis. Charged particles were detected by two detector blocks: 1. Plastic scintillating hemisphere + semiconductor thin n-p detector 2. Telescope: 3 semiconductor n-p detectors + CsI scintillating crystal in plastic anticoincidence shield MCR instrument data are available from 04.03.1994 till 14.06.1994 [electrons] and from 04.03.1994 till 30.06.1994 [protons]. Normal time resolution is 59 seconds. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Headers from electron fluxes table: Date - full datetime DD.MM.YYYY.
