We present typical examples of Prognoz-10 ion (E greater than 15 keV) and electron (E greater than 30 keV) flux observations as the spacecraft crosses the low and mid-latitude magnetosheath and the foreshock. Both leakage from magnetosphere and bow shock acceleration contribute to magnetosheath populations. A statistical survey using 6 months of measurements reveals that the occurrence of high ion and electron fluxes depends upon Kp. For the same Kp, the probability of high ion occurrence is much higher in the magnetosheath than in the upstream region. In the upstream region, the occurrence of high ion fluxes depends upon the distance to the bow shock and on the angle ThetaBn.
