Abstract:

A description is given of the luminescence counter used to obtain data on photons at high altitudes and of the method used in transmitting the data. A high-count region was found above 60 degrees N which impeded the detection of weak gamma radiation from the sun. An increased sensitivity of instrumentation is necessary.
