Scientific paper

Helium-3 has been found in the aluminum antenna housing from the recovered second stage of a pre-Apollo Saturn test flight launched January 28, 1964 and returned to earth on April 28, 1966. The amount of He-3 found is about 6 times 10 to the minus 10 cc per sq cm with a He-3/He-4 ratio of 145 or less. The He-3 is shown to come from the lower radiation belt as all sources of He-3 are orders of magnitude lower than the observed value. It is suggested that there is a significant component of low energy flare particles in the radiation belts, although it is impossible to rule out other origins.
