Instruments on the linar orbiting Apollo 15 and 16 spacecraft were used to measure electron planetary space. The quiet time and average spectra of interplanetary electrons and protons were constructed and shown to be similar in slope. The contributions to average interplanetary particle fluxes were analyzed. The dominance of solar particles in the average fluxes was demonstrated and combined with the similarity in spectral shapes to argue for the solar origin of quiet time fluxes. The existence of two separate electron populations above and below 2 keV was shown. A procedure for the numerical solution of the cosmic ray transport equation was applied to match the energy dependent time histories of particles flux in the 1 September 1971 flare event and to derive the probable shapes of electron and proton injection spectra near the sun.
