Preliminary data recorded by instruments on the third cosmic rocket, October 4 to 18, 1958, are presented. The first data were transmitted at elavations of 7500 to 14,000 km; the next data were transmitted s 130,000 km. Data on the outer radiation belt are tabulated. The intensity of cosmic radiation outside the influence of the magnetic field and the atmosphere was 2.12 counts/cm/sup 2//sec, the mean pulse cous at a threshold energy of 45 kev was 6.79 pulse/cm/sup 2// sec, and s a threshold energy of 3.6 Mev it was 2.15 pulse/ cm/sup 2//sec, The mean ionization for the whole crystal was 1.56 x 10/sup 9/ ev/ sec. The dat transmitted during the first 14 days of flight indicate a constant radiation intensity beyond the earth's magnetic field. Some weak deviations from the "mean-intensity" were recorded in rare instances. These deviations are assumed to be related to magnetic field variations in the solar system and to tee effects of these fields on the incoming cosmic-ray intensity. (R.V.J.)
