Cosmic ray measurements at the equator and the polar caps at heights between 400 and 2000 km revealed a higher count rate of a shielded gas-discharge counter as compared to a counter with a less effective shielding. The higher count rate resulted from the activation of the shield by radiation-belt protons, the response of the instrument being affected by the asymmetry of the belt with respect to the center of the earth. The half-decay constant of the isotope produced is determined. The fact that a higher count rate was observed at the polar caps even in the absence of irradiation is attributed to the possible presence of high-energy albedo gamma-quanta.
