Cosmic Ray Investigation in the Stratosphere and Space: Results from Instruments on Russian Satellites and Balloons

<table> Fluxes of solar protons observed on Prognoz-1. Within 70 days eight increases of SCRs were observed with exponential decay profiles (energy Ep <i>≈</i> 1 MeV) of nearly identical characteristic times <i>τ</i> = 16.5 hours. This provides an evidence of long-term (more than two solar rotations) stationary state of the interplanetary medium in the inner heliosphere. </table>
