Scientific paper

Low-energy proton data obtained in anisotropy measurements carried out on board several spacecraft of the Venera series are analyzed, assuming a temporal and spatial nature of the variations. It is shown that the transport mean free path is a highly variable quantity; at the onset of intensity increases, the transport mean free path decreases to below 0.1 AU, reaching peak values of more than 1.0 AU at maximum intensity. Its mean value is a function of solar activity (decreasing with increasing activity). According to the measurements on board Venera-7 and Mars-2, the transport mean free path of 5-MeV protons is less by factors of 2 to 3 than that of 1-MeV protons.
