On a possible configuration of the Mars magnetosphere

Description

Results of magnetic field measurements at ''Mars-3'' and ''Mars-5'' automatic interplanetary stations are analyzed. It is shown that the test correspondence with observations will be found for magnetosphere formed during solar wind interaction with magnetic moment, possessing the small angle of inclination to the axle of planet rotation. The north pole of Mars dipole is situated in the Southern hemisphere. Mars possesses its own degenerate magnetosphere in which the fusion of two cusps into one characteristic domain takes place. The induced magnetic barrier can exist above the characteristic region on the day side of planet
