Magnetograms obtained by the Mars-2 satellite, not published earlier, in combination with Mars-3 and Mars-5 data, have yielded important information concerning the Martian magnetic field making possible clarification of the nature of the field on the daytime side of Mars, between the shock wave front and the planet, on orientation of the dipole and extent of the Martian magnetosphere on the nighttime side and on the strength of the dipole magnetic moment. All the measurements of Mars-2, Mars-3 and Mars-5 are consistent and further clarify earlier findings. The axis of the Martian magnetic dipole is tilted about 15 deg. to the axis of rotation with the north pole of the dipole being situated at a longitude of about 270 deg. in the Southern Hemisphere. On the daytime side of the planet there is a field belonging to the planet and rotating together with the planet.
