A simple kinetic theory model is presented for the calculation of atomic hydrogen escape fluxes from earth induced by charge exchange collions with hot protons. An analytical expression is derived for the nonthermal flux in terms of atomospheric and dynamical variables. The results, which indicate an increase in the nonthermal flux with decreasing exospheric temperature, are in good agreement with the earlier estimates by Bertaux (1975).
