[en] The position of the magnetic pause in the day sector in April-October, 1972 is considered. The position of the magnetic pause in 1972 is closer to its position near the solar activity minimum (IMP-1,1964), than to the position in the year of maximum (''Heos-1'',1969). Despite a considerable scatter in the points, a rather distinct dependence is observed: a decrease of the magnetosphere dimensions with an increase in the geomagnetic activity
