Synchronous orbit satellites offer a unique platform for both the detection of low energy cosmic rays and the theoretical study of the effect of the magnetic fields in the outer magnetosphere on their propagation. Using a mathematical model of the magnetosphere, we have computed trajectories of low energy cosmic rays arriving at the position of the ATS 1 synchronous orbit satellite to determine the propagation characteristics. Analysis of these calculations leads to the determination of the geomagnetic cutoffs, the specific regions of penetration at the magnetospheric boundary and the directions of approach from the interplanetary medium. For particles propagating by the direct mode without undergoing scattering, it is possible to uniquely relate directions of incidence at the satellite with the directions of approach at the magnetospheric boundary. It is also possible to specify measurable characteristics which permit the determination of whether or not radiation is propagating through the outer magnetosphere by the diffusive or by the direct mode of propagation.
