Here the radiation is so heavy that the counter is swamped and no meaningful count is recorded. Its small oscillations are mere radio noise...
...Channel II came from a scintillation counter sensitive to radiation from one direction. Each wave records 2,048 particles above a certain energy level. Because the satellite is tumbling, the waves are spaced at varying intervals-closer together when the instrument points into the radiation, further apart when it turns away. Thus this channel tells both the radiation's strength and directional character, also indicates the rate of tumble, and the satellite's attitude at any given moment...
