Abstract Electron temperatures in the Martian ionosphere at the times of Mariner 4 and 6 missions are calculated in the continuous slowing down approximation by using new molecular data. It is concluded that thermal equilibrium between electron and neutral temperatures in the lower part of the ionosphere may exist only when the solar flux recently revised by Hinteregger (1970) is assumed.
