Scientific paper

During the International Magnetospheric Sutdy, the Prognoz-7 satellite carried out regular measurements of the fluxes and spectra of energetic electrons and protons in the outer magnetosphere and in the magnetosheath for 8 months. The electron fluxes were measured in the 10 keV and 30 keV ranges, and the proton fluxes were observed differentially at 5 energy intervals within the 0.07 to 10 MeV range. A sharp increase of the energetic particle flux is observed in each passage through the magnetosheath near the magnetopause and through the bow shock. The proton spectrum at the magnetopause is shown to be harder than near the bow shock and to soften when moving deeper into the magnetosheath.
