Accurate measurements of under cutoff proton, electron, and positron fluxes in the energy range 0.07 divided by 9.1 GeV have been performed with the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer at altitudes of 370 divided by 390 km in the geographic latitude interval +/- 51.7 degrees. The flux maps as a function of the canonical adiabatic variables L, alpha(o), and energy E are presented and discussed.
