Abstract—

The Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCR) portable scientific instrument was developed in 2022 by the Dolgoprudny Scientific Station of the Lebedev Physical Institute for detecting the charged component of cosmic rays. Its description and performance characteristics are presented. STS-6 gas-discharge counters arranged in two layers with five counters in each are used as detecting elements. The layers of the upper and lower counters are separated by a 7-mm-thick aluminum filter. This instrument is intended for the TI3GER international experiment (Technological Innovation Into Iodine and GV Environmental Research), which is aimed at studying the effect of iodine oxides on the reduction of the ozone layer.
