An account is given of the detailed analysis of lexan stack detector exposed for 73 days in the Skylab experiment during 1973-74. Track revelation techniques have been employed to study the composition and energy spectra of nuclei groups CNO, Ne to Si and Ca to Ni in the 8-160 MeV/n energy range. Anomalous presence of CNO and Ne nuclei with steep spectrum below 40 MeV/n has been observed. The likely source for this component in terms of outer radiation belt has been discussed. At energies above 40 MeV/n the composition is similar to galactic cosmic rays.
