Scientific paper

Helium as well as argon is generated by radioactive decay in the core of a planet. The dissipation rate of helium from the atmospheres of Mars and earth is nearly the same. The presence of argon in the Martian atmosphere (from Mars-6 data) means that helium is also present there. At heights of 600 to 1500 km helium is probably the primary component of the Martian atmosphere.
