On Sep. 3 1988 at 14.10 UT the payload Interzodiac 2 was carried out onboard Skylark 12, from Natal, Brazil, to an apogee of 857 km. This mission was aimed at the observation of interplanetary and geocoronal Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) resonance radiation, especially at 58.4 nm (He) and 121.6 nm (H). During the 16 minute flight an unexpectedly high background signal was registered. A first analysis already showed that this signal could not be explained as resonance radiation. A Japanese mission launched in 1970 from Japan registered a comparably intense signal, however at much higher altitudes. The comparison with these data and with some earlier results obtained at Natal in 1967 allowed the background signal to be identified due to high energetic particles trapped in the magnetic field of the Earth.
