Following these introductory talks, Ernest Hildner described the experiments aboard the Solar Maximum Mission Satellite and their scientific aims. This spacecraft is supposed to be the main source of data from space during the SMY, and great efforts are being made to ensure good coordination of observations aboard the SMM and on the ground.
The experiments contributing to the SMY provide a 476-channel pulse-height spectrum of y-rays between 0.3 and 9 MeV; measure y-ray radiation from 10 to 100 MeV and neutrons above 20 MeV; record hard X-rays in 16 channels between 20 and 300 keV with 0.1 s time resolution, and the total flux of these X-rays with time resolution of 1 ms; image hard X-rays up to 30 keV in six energy channels with spatial resolution of 8 arc sec and time resolution better than 7 s; yield spectrum in
