Energetic ion measurements of GEOS-1 and ATS-6 are analyzed for the period of geomagnetic activity following the arrival of a solar wind shock at 0027 UT on July 29, 1977. GEOS crossed the magnetopause at 6.9 earth radii and 0027 UT (1312 LT). Although the difference in local time to ATS at 6.6 earth radii is only 2 h, ATS seems to remain well inside the magnetopause. During the second orbital pass on this day, GEOS crossed the geostationary orbit during the commencement of a major substorm at 1120 UT. At this time the local time difference of GEOS and ATS was 12 h. The considerably different energy dispersions are discussed. An azimuthal anisotropy of approximately 20% observed in the GEOS data is attributed to a particle density gradient.
