Abstract

Secondary electron and positron fluxes in the energy range from 3 MeV to 7 GeV were measured with the ARINA and PAMELA spectrometers onboard the Resurs-DK satellite launched on June 15, 2006 into an elliptical orbit with an inclination of 70.4° and an altitude of 350–600 km. It is shown that positrons dominate over electrons by a factor of up to 4–5 in the geomagnetic equator region (L < 1.2 and B > 0.25).
