== Scientific results ==
* The probe recorded one micrometeorite strike every two minutes at altitudes ranging from {{convert|6000|to|40000|km|mi|abbr=on}} from Earth's surface due to the [[Taurids]] meteor shower, and also recorded similar densities at distances from {{convert|20|to|40|e6km|mi}} from Earth.<ref name="Sputnik 23" /><ref name="Mihos 2006" />
* [[Magnetic field]] intensities of 3&ndash;4 [[nanotesla]]s (nT, also known as gammas) with peaks as high as 6&ndash;9 nT were measured in interplanetary space.
* The [[solar wind]] was detected. 
* The radiation zones around Earth were detected,<ref name="mars12mv">{{cite web |url=http://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/mars-2mv-4.htm |title=Mars 1 (2MV-4 #1, 2) |access-date=October 22, 2015 }}</ref><ref name="bookmars">{{cite book|author1=Brian Harvey|author2=Olga Zakutnyaya|title=Russian Space Probes: Scientific Discoveries and Future Missions|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=q6qyVkapjeoC&pg=PA266|year=2011|publisher=Springer Science & Business Media|isbn=978-1-4419-8150-9|page=266}}</ref> and their magnitude confirmed.<ref name="Mihos 2006" />
