Abstract :
A reliable, low-cost microprocessor based electronics package has been designed and built to support the Gamma Ray Advanced Detector which is scheduled to fly on the Space Shuttle in 1986. The electronics package provides for both control and data acquisition through a telemetry interface to the Air Force AFP-675 experiment support structure. By changing out two interface modules the electronics package can be reconfigured to support a variety of instruments and S/V interfaces.
