The Utrecht Hard Solar X-Ray Spectrometer on board the ESRO TD-1A satellite (launch March 1972) is permanently Sun-pointed and measures the solar radiation between 30 keV and 1000 keV, in 12 logarithmically spaced energy channels, with a continuous fine time resolution, viz. 1.2 s for the four lowest energy channels and 4.8 s for the rest. The detector has a 5 cm2 Cs I (Na) crystal; counts due to particles are rejected and even during the largest solar flares saturation effects (e.g. pulse pile-up) are absent. For further details see Van Beek (1973), and Van Beek and De Feiter (1973).
