Abstract: | Influence of cosmic ray pressure and kinetic stream instability on space plasma dynamics and magnetic structure are considered.
It is shown that in the outer Heliosphere are important dynamics effects of galactic cosmic ray pressure on solar wind and
interplanetary shock wave propagation as well as on the formation of terminal shock wave of the Heliosphere and subsonic region
between Heliosphere and interstellar medium. Kinetic stream instability effects are important on distances more than 40–60
AU from the Sun: formation of great anisotropy of galactic cosmic rays in about spiral interplanetary magnetic field leads
to the Alfven turbulence generation by non isotropic cosmic ray fluxes. Generated Alfven turbulence influences on cosmic ray
propagation, increases the cosmic ray modulation, decreases the cosmic ray anisotropy and increases the cosmic ray pressure
gradient in the outer Heliosphere (the later is also important for terminal shock wave formation).
