NAME Pioneer 8 and 9 Cosmic Dust Detector Calibration Notebook Collection
TYPE Calibration
DESCRIPTION This collections contains digital reproductions of two hand-written laboratory notebooks of calibration analyses by Dr. Otto E. Berg for the Pioneer 8 and 9 Cosmic Dust Detectors (CDD). Dr. Berg used these analyses to help calibrate data acquired by the Apollo 17 Lunar Ejecta And Meteorites (LEAM) Experiment detector, which was identical to the Pioneer CDDs. Dr. Berg was the principal investigator for all three instruments.
