Abstract
The gamma-ray emission from the Crab Nebula and NP-0532 has been investigated in a series of balloon flights of a multiplate Spark Chamber triggered by a Čerenkov detector-scintillator coincidence system (Parlier et al., 1973; Leray et al., 1972; Vasseur et al., 1971), having a gamma-ray energy threshold for detection at 20 MeV. Figure 1 shows a schematic view of the gamma-ray telescope; Figure 2 the view of the telescope without its thermal protection.
