The X-ray and ..gamma..-emissions of the earth's atmosphere were measured on Kosmos 461 in the range of 28 keV to 4.1 MeV. The energy spectrum of the emission was measured and the geomagnetic dependence of intensity in the continuous spectrum and in the 0.511-MeV line was determined. Measurements on Kosmos 135 yielded data on the height dependence of the atmospheric ..gamma..-quantum flux. 10 references.
