Analytic solutions to the kinetic equation which describes the transport of superthermal electrons in the plasmasphere are presented. Relations which allow the calculation of the photoelectron energy spectra and the plasmaspheric transparency are obtained. An expression for the heating rate of the thermal electron population by the superthermal electrons is also given.
