A balloon-borne payload was launched from Thompson, Canada, on August 15, 1973. The float depth averaged 4.5 g/sq cm of residual atmosphere, and the experiment live time was 31,500 sec. A total-energy-versus-range technique was used in the measurements. Preliminary results from this experiment have been given by Hagen et al. (1975). The final results are reported along with a detailed description of the analysis techniques. Information is provided concerning improved atmospheric and energy corrections, an updated estimation of the modulation effects, and a revised lifetime estimate.
