The results of direct measurements of the all particle spectra by five different instruments on satellites and balloons are considered. It is shown, that is the representatio as the flux multiplied by energy to the power of 2.6 the all-particle spectrum shows a 'step'. The parameters of this 'step' and its origin are analyzed. Historically it has so happ ened that the all-particle spectrum obtained as the sum individual components, the energy range 1 < E < (5 - 10) TeV in the proton spectrum is not covered by direct measurements. Usually this energy interval in the all-particle spectrum is filled via interp olation, which is bases on the assumption that the proton spectrum is similar to the spectrum of nuclei. This spectrum is usually considered to be the all-particle GCR spectrum Io (E ) [1]. Direct information on the all-particle spectrum in the energy range from 1 to 10 TeV can be obtained using direct measurements of the of the all-particle spectrum by electronic instruments. For the first time such information was obtained in 1972 as a result of the all-particle spectrum measurements by the SEZ-14 instrument on the 'Proton1,2,3' satellites and the SEZ-15 instrument on the 'Proton-4' satellite [2,3]. These measurements revealed an anomaly in the all-particle spectrum in the 1-10 TeV energy range. In 1997 the spectrum was measured again by the TIC instrument [4]. The TIC instrument measured the energy release of all-particles arriving from arbitrary directions. As it was shown by the authors in [4,5] the energy release spectrum revealed the same anomaly in the all-particle spectrum, previously observed in the measurements made on 'Proton' satellites [2]. The results of the measurements made by the TIC, SEZ-14 and SEZ-15 are shown in Fig.1. The solid line in Fig.1 shows the function Φ(E ), which gives a good approximation of the experimental all-particle spectrum at a =0.4 TeV.
