As a contribution to the FREE FLYER BIOSTACK EXPERIMENT (A0015) we have flown CR-39 plastic nuclear track detectors on board Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF). Although low energy fully-ionized galactic cosmic rays should not reach this orbit due to geomagnetic shielding we found stopping nuclei with energies of some hundred MeV/nucleon. Directions of incidence, nuclear charge and energy spectra of these particles are presented and discussed.
