TAUS measurements showed that the Martian magnetosphere is considerably filled with fluxes of heavy ions originating from the planetary atmosphere. A plasma sheet was found in the magnetotail, which also consisted mainly of heavy ions. The flux of heavy ions leaving Mars through the tail is tentatively estimated to be (0.5-2) x 10 to the 25th per sec.
