Scientific paper

It is shown that, the intrinsic magnetic field of early Mars was strong enough to deflect the solar wind and form a magnetosphere. The implications of such a magnetosphere earlier in Mars' history are discussed qualitatively from the point of view of atmospheric evolution. Escape of atmospheric constituents through the polar regions could contribute significantly to the atmospheric loss processes inferred from observations.
