| Abstract: | The total ionizing component of cosmic radiation was measured up to an altitude of 1550 km. An upper bound to the ratio of average-to-minimum specific ionization was determined by comparing the ionization with the count-rate observations from the Explorer IV satellite. This result implied that protons are the predominant species which gave rise to the observed ionization. |
