A pulse code modulator (PCM) encoder capable of storing data onboard into the mass memory in the encoder at up to 12 megabits per second was designed and constructed. This telemetry system was programed for two successful flights. All parts of the electronic system functioned perfectly during both previous flights and the detectors performed perfectly. However, in the first flight in Pokerflat, Alaska, an electron arm did not deploy for reasons as yet unkown. The ion arm deployed perfectly and good data was acquired.
