Abstract
The S 79 experiment on board of the HEOS-A1 European Satellite has been designed to electrons detection whose kinetic energies should be equal or greater than 7.5 MeV. From December 1968 to July 1970, 11 events were observed.
Their main characteristics are described in this article. Two different categories of events may be sorted out from these observations. The propagation conditions in the interplanetary space are now discussed to find out a possible interpretation.
