A review is presented of the study of the magnetosphere using energetic solar particles. After a historical introduction, present knowledge about the geomagnetic field topology is shortly described in order to assess the contribution, which energetic particle measurements can make towards the study of the magnetosphere. The following historical review of satellite observations is discussed in terms of their contributions to a phenomenological classification of polar cap structures. Subsequent to about 1969 detailed trajectory calculations of particles in model magnetospheric fields were available which could be used in the interpretation of the measurements so that a strict historical treatment is not tractable. After a short description of the trajectory calculation method in various model magnetospheric fields the role of different interplanetary conditions in determining intensity structures in the geomagnetic tail and over the polar caps is discussed. Firstly, polar cap observations during different interplanetary conditions are described in terms of their contribution to the understanding of the magnetospheric topology, and secondly, observations in the distant magnetosphere and magnetotail are reported and compared with relevant theory.
