Abstract: 

The modulation process of galactic cosmic ray intensity by heliospheric magnetic fields is studied. On the basis of our analytical solution of transport equation the energy and spatial distributions of cosmic ray density and anisotropy are investigated. The magnitude and direction of galactic cosmic ray energy flux were estimated.

Keywords: cosmic rays, heliosphere
