The SCATHA satellite made several years of detailed plasma, energetic particle and magnetic field observations over geocentric radial distances of 5.5 to 7.5. Thus SCATHA provides the capability to characterize the particle environment both external and internal to geosynchronous orbit. This allows one to infer relationships between parameters such as the characteristic energy of electrons and ions and the hot plasma density as functions of radial distances, that span geosynchronous, local time and magnetic conditions. One minute summary SCATHA plasma and energetic particle data were used to calculate the average energies for the electrons and protons and the hot plasma density and perpendicular pressure. For example, over a selected interval in the night side magnetosphere (post dusk to pre dawn) the average energy of the hot plasma protons (150 eV to 133 keV) decreases with increasing L (5.5
