Obtained data indicated the presence of plasma of not over tens of thousands of degrees at approximately 25,000 km from the earth up to 4 earth radii. An electron flux N of 10/sup 8// cm/sup 2//sec with energies exceeding approximately 200 ev was recorded at 55,000 < R ( 75,000 km. Records show that the container passed through a positive ion flux (probably protons) with energies of 15 ev, N approximately 2 x I0/sup 8//cm/sup 2//sec. Identical positive collector currents were recorded by all four traps. The presence of proton fluxes with energies exceeding 25 ev were recorded at various times and at various distances from the earth (in particular at R approximately 125,000 km). The recorded proton fluxes are obviously solar corpuscular emissions observed for the first time , in the interplanetary space outside the earth's magnetic field. (R.V.J.)
