The solar flare on August 14, 1982 (about 0507 UT) produced hard X-rays, gamma-rays, and an electron-rich interplanetary particle event. Because of its location (N11, W61), the flare site was magnetically well connected to the ISEE 3 spacecraft. The ISEE 3 observations have provided a detailed time history of 15 keV-1.9 MeV photon emission from the flare and the relativistic (greater than 3 MeV) solar electrons in interplanetary space. These observations indicate that a significant fraction of the relativistic electrons escaping from the sun were accelerated during the impulsive phase simultaneously with the energetic electrons producing the hard X-ray and gamma-ray continuum at the sun.
