Abstract
A balloon-borne photographic spark chamber was flown at a pressure of 10 g cm−2 on 14 April 1966 from Holloman A.F.B., New Mexico. Upper limits were obtained on gamma-ray fluxes above 1 GeV from various discrete sources including Cyg A, Cas A, and the Crab nebula. Also a measurement was made on the average photon flux above 1 GeV from a portion of the galactic disk.Keywords
