Abstract The Signe II M P-9 experiment operated aboard the Prognoz 9 satellite for 8 months in 1983–1984. It was designed to study cosmic and solar gamma ray bursts in the 40–8000 keV energy range, using two 178 cm2 NaI scintillators. A description of the mission and the experiment are presented. The experiment discovered what appears to be a unique new transient source, and has also provided evidence for rapid spectral variability at MeV energies in a gamma burst spectrum.
