NSSDC ID: 1975-066A-02
Mission Name: ASTP-Apollo
Principal Investigator: Dr. C. Stuart Bowyer
This ASTP experiment measured the intensity and spatial distribution of helium-fluorescent radiation in selected regions of the night sky. The measurements could give the distribution of helium in interplanetary space, and indicate the penetration of interstellar helium into the solar system. Measurements were made with a narrow-passband photometer, sensitive to helium radiation, and pointed to an accuracy of 4 deg.
