The measurements obtained by Mars 5 reaffirm the conclusion of an intrinsic Martian magnetic field based on the Mars 2 and 3 data. The bow shock positions are equivalent to those observed on the earlier missions. Furthermore, a magnetotail is observed whose direction is independent of interplanetary sector structure.
