Scientific paper

Measurements of the ion composition from Prognoz-7 in the 0.2 to 17 keV/q energy range have revealed new and exciting data from regions of the magnetosphere previously unexplored by spacecraft containing mass-analyzing particle spectrometers. During the approximately 7.5 months mission time of the Prognoz-7 satellite, the measurements have been particularly suited for studies of the hot plasma in the high latitude boundary layer of the magnetosphere. However, the satellite also made excursions into other interesting regions of the magnetosphere and ion composition studies have been performed in the boundary layer near the subsolar point, in the ring current region, and on auroral field lines in the altitude range of 2-5 earth radii. The purpose of this report is to review the Prognoz-7 ion composition results, to describe the existing volume of information and the way it is represented, and finally, to discuss some physical implications of the results.
