Angular distributions of fission fragments from the neutron-induced fission of 232Th, 233U, 235U, 238U and 209Bi have been measured in the energy range 1–200 MeV at the neutron TOF spectrometer GNEIS based on the spallation neutron source at 1 GeV proton synchrocyclotron of the PNPI (Gatchina, Russia). The multiwire proportional counters have been used as a position sensitive fission fragment detector. A description of the experimental equipment and measurement procedure is given. The anisotropy of fission fragments deduced from the data on measured angular distributions is presented in comparison with experimental data of other authors, first of all, the recent data from WNR at LANSCE (Los Alamos, USA) and n_TOF(CERN).
