The design and performance of a Cerenkov telescope intended for the spectral analysis for protons and alphas from the GOES and TIROS spacecraft are described. Four proton data channels and two alpha channels are provided. The response to cyclotron protons in the 350-570 MeV range is described relarive to: angular response, energy response, energy resolution, and counting efficiency. The response to sea-level mouns is also presented.
