Scientific paper

Measurements of proton and heavy ion spectra by the TAUS spectrometer onboard the Phobos-2 orbiter provided the first in situ experimental data on the problem of Martian atmosphere dissipation. They are: (1) the newly revealed escape of planetary heavy ions through the plasma sheet of the Martian magnetotail, and (2) the deceleration of solar wind protons upstream of the planetary bow shock, possibly due to the presence of the hot oxygen corona of Mars.
