In order to calculate the effects of traversal of interstellar matter on the charge spectrum of the cosmic radiation it is necessary to have values for the fragmentation parameters of nuclei of each element into all lighter elements. Most of these values have not been experimentally determined. As a consequence, they have been calculated from a semi-empirical mass spallation relation designed to fit the available partial cross-sections obtained from radio chemical determinations. This calculation has attempted to take into account the conditions that are peculiar to the cosmic ray problem. Values of the parameters are given for three characteristic energies and a comparison is made with the sparce experimental data. The effects of using these parameters in a calculation of the extrapolation of the charge spectrum through interstellar space are shown for some representative cases.
