The indeterminate results from attempts to clarify the mechanisms involved in the formation of dust belts around the Earth prompted a reworking of data obtained from the Elektron-1 aned Elektron-3 satellites. Data obtained from these satellites during the periods 31 January through 5 March 1964 (Elektron-1) and 11 July through 3 August 1964 (Elektron-3) were used in the study. Orbital parameters and recording methods are detailed. The findings indicate that meteor material in the Earth's dust envelope is unevenly distributed and also forms concentrations of particles that move in more or less stable orbits at definite distances from Earth. Dust rings around the Earth do not lie in a single plane but cover a broad band around the Earth. It is concluded that long-duration, systematic studies are required in order to obtain sufficient experimental data to clarify the fine structure of the Earth's dust belt and its shape.
