The research initiated by the Mars-2 and Mars-3 planetary probe with the RIEO-2801 M electrostatic charged-particle analyzer was continued aboard Mars-4 and Mars-5. Data obtained in the immediate Mars vicinity by Mars-5 confirmed the conclusion concerning the existence of a boundary shock wave. Data of 20 February 1974 were used to calculate the distance from the center of Mars to the bow point of the shock wave and the altitude of the obstacle in the direction of the Sun, which agree well with the earlier results. Orbital sections where ion spectra typical of the boundary layer were observed are shown graphically.
