...ionization chamber and a group of three Geiger-Miiller tubes will measure the number and intensity of such high-energy particles as protons, electrons and the nuclei of atoms, in an effort to gather more knowledge about the hazards of manned space flights. One instrument will determine the flow and density of the charged particles (the solar wind) that are constantly streaming outward from the sun. Another will detect cosmic dust that might prove dangerous for future astronauts traveling through interstellar space...
