Voyager Cosmic Ray Subsystem (CRS)

The Voyager Cosmic Ray Subsystem (CRS) is designed to exploit to the fullest practical degree the proposed trajectories of Voyager-1 and -2. The significance of these measurements will be greatly enhanced by concurrent measurements with similar particle telescopes on satellites such as the Pioneers, IMPs, and similar series in near-earth orbits.
