Measurements from the low-altitude three-axis-stabilized satellite S81-1 of trapped and precipitating electrons from 6 keV to above 1 MeV are presented. Significant fluxes of precipitating relativistic electrons above 1 MeV with the bounce loss cone are much more often observed near midnight than noon and generally in narrow spikes of less than 100 km in width typically at L values between four and six near the radiation belt boundary. A trend is observed for the higher-energy precipitating electron fluxes to peak at somewhat lower L values. The precipitation of electrons over 1 MeV is measured to occur at intensities and in locations that are widely variable within a few minutes superposed on longer-term variations.
